Not motorbike related but pretty cool none the less. The cactus is called a "Peruvian Apple" and this is the most blooms it has ever had!

That is cool Fin, I have never seen one of those bloom. Does it only bloom once a year?

that cool, does your camera have a macro setting , it would be cool to see the flower close up.
my other hobby is photography and have a whole collection of close up flowers.

With those you don't really need a macro. Check out the "Happy Travels" thread. I posted some pics of Happy next to the flowers.

Edit: FR31 actually it will go through a couple of blooming periods during the summer. I'm not sure what triggers it. This is the second time this summer it has gotten blooms but the first was no where near as many. It will bloom every night for about a week. There were four this morning.
