You and my late Mom would have been great pals.

While I enjoy vegetable gardening, Mom was all into orchids, and *anything* challenging to grow.

We had a Night-Blooming Cereus, that she obsessively raised like a child, for almost 12 years.

It finally bloomed in its 8th year, and Mom actually wrote me a sick note for school, so I could stay up with her to watch it bloom.

That plant was literally part of the family.

I didn't truly understand until the Handsome Family wrote the song for True Detective, describing a cactus that obsesses people. I don't think it's the same cactus of the song, but maybe a variant, but it helped me understand.
