Just started blooming this week, very pretty. It is more of a succulent and looks cactus-like with those spiky things but they were soft, not thorns. Grandma Horn had one like this.
She kept a garden and I loved her sun hat, I found one almost like it, huge round brim, small cap, strings to tie beneath ones chin.
There was a gooseberry bush that grew on top of the root cellar and if I begged her for a gooseberry pie, she would let me go pick enough berries to make a pie. She would then shudder when ever I took a bite. She apparently did not like gooseberry. She also indulged me a young beggar to eat way more cherry pie than I should have with disastrous gastrointestinal results. Haven't liked cherry pie since. Ah me.....

my grandmother had one of those plants. She had the magic touch when it came to growing stuff. We also had a gooseberry bush on the place when we moved out here, but it didn't stay very long. I have trouble growing grass (the kind in front yards ya know) so a garden is out of the question.
