Beautiful Flowers
I received this cactus as a gift, and was so impressed with the beautiful flower it produced, I wanted to post it. I am not sure the type of cactus or succulent this plant is, however, the flower that was produced is a vibrant pink and is beautiful
There are a couple of other buds on it, and I am sure it will bloom again soon. The flower only lasted about a week, and then if fell off.
The photographs below are a ranunculus that grows from a bulb. These flowers typically bloom in spring. I took these photographs while on broker caravan in Dover Shores in Newport Beach.
On another broker preview, I took some additional photos of some flowers.

Pacific Bully Gets Beached in Huntington Beach
Pacific Bully Gets Beached in Huntington Beach
A fishing boat named the Pacific Bully, and ran aground in Huntington Beach right near the River Jetty in Newport Beach. There are some shallow areas with the the current in this area.
Local news was there to document the event. Also, there was Huntington State Beach Lifeguards, Coastguard, and Homeland Security.
The boat didn’t stop the surfers from enjoying a decent ride.
I believe they were waiting for high tide to remove the boat from the sand.
