Summer is with us. Cactus plants flower, cactus make seeds, cactus plants grow. Sun shines and heats a lot, at least here, in Central Europe. Thanks to the strong light and high temperatures cacti are happy. High mountain cacti, like Rebutias and Lobivias, already wither their flowers, while Echinopsis just start making their huge and mostly nightly blooms, and Notocactus also start their big flower show. Mexican Mammillarias and Echinocereus, not to forget Thelocactus, Coryphantha or Turbinicarpus, are also in the course of opening their flowers. 

Let us look at those beauties and keep the happy feeling in our hearts. We might need these memories when shorter days come and cacti go to sleep together with most of the sunshine.

Happy summer, dear friends. Happy sunny days to everybody.

 

And this time let me give you a poem both in French and English (and Polish in the Polish version of this page).

 

 

 
Que le soleil est beau quand tout frais il se lève,
Comme une explosion nous lançant son bonjour!
— Bienheureux celui-là qui peut avec amour
Saluer son coucher plus glorieux qu'un rêve!

Je me souviens!... J'ai vu tout, fleur, source, sillon,
Se pâmer sous son oeil comme un coeur qui palpite...
— Courons vers l'horizon, il est tard, courons vite,
Pour attraper au moins un oblique rayon!

Mais je poursuis en vain le Dieu qui se retire;
L'irrésistible Nuit établit son empire,
Noire, humide, funeste et pleine de frissons;

Une odeur de tombeau dans les ténèbres nage,
Et mon pied peureux froisse, au bord du marécage,
Des crapauds imprévus et de froids limaçons.

__________________________________

How lovely is the sun, when, freshly soaring,
Like an explosion, first he bids "Good-Day."
Happy the man, on gorgeous sunsets poring,
Who can salute with love its parting ray.

I've seen all things, flower, furrow, pond, and rill,
Swoon in his gaze like a poor heart that dies.
Run to the skyline. It is late. We still
May catch one parting ray before it flies.

But it's in vain I chase my God receding.
Night irresistible, damp, black, unheeding
Establishes her empire, full of fear.

Amongst the shades a grave-like odour trails.
My naked feet walk into chilly snails
And bullfrogs unforeseen along the mere.

Charles Baudelaire
