It has been said that the cactus flower is a symbol of maternal love. Because the cactus is a plant that can endure harsh conditions and also thrive, its flowers are symbolic of a mother's unconditional love.

Every summer in my terrace, two of my cacti bloom with flowers that last only for certain hours and to admire them can only be enhanced by taking their pictures as hereby shown. It is such a pity that they do not last long enough because some of their flowers are so delicately beautiful.
The peculiar thing about the cacti is that their leaves turn into spines while the stems evolve to become photosynthetic and succulent. Many species are used for ornamental plants, and some are also grown for fodder, forage, fruits, cochineal, and other uses. Source: Wikipedia
On the other hand, superstitious people avoid cactus plants with the belief that they may cause bad luck due to their thorns. But it all depends on your convictions. If you think cactus is good, then it will be good but if you are a follower of the "Indian Vastu Shaastra", saying that the cactus plants bring bad luck to the house, or Feng Shui, that says that cactus can bring you ailments, then why not plant cactus right outside the house? This way you cover yourself from your harmful convictions, while you take the benefits of the easy to care cactus plants that do not require everyday water and can also keep your soil replenished with water, due to its property of absorbing a little water. Try growing them, you will be amazed with the results.
