My little pot of cactus and succulents is faring well in this hot dry weather. The odd thing to me is that the cactus has some growths on it.
Maybe one of you cactus/succulent aficionados can tell me what has caused this. The blooms are usually up around the crown of this cactus. These growths are more in the center of this cactus. They really make me curious. Perhaps they are seed pods formed where the pollen of the flowers fell captured by the spines and nutured??
Happy Cactus Monday. I hope eveyrone is enjoying a free day. For more Cactus Monday views go to Teri's Painted Daisies here.

I have no idea what is going on but it will be interesting to watch what develops.
Happy Labor Day!
I don't know anything about cactus, but this looks rather interesting. Maybe this is how it reproduces?
Your drawing is cute.
No idea either. Looks like flowers are coming though!? Your cactus are so healthy. Mine are all dead or dying. They don't like there new home on the farm...( I think I need to retire from cactus Monday... No luck down here). I love your drawing too!
HCM...love your photos.
Oh wow this is interesting! No answer yet......and I want to know as well. Guess I have to come back later ;)
Your paper is finally on it's way to you dear!
Happy cactus Monday!
Sweet little illo...:)
Might they be new "arms????" HCM! :)
Well that is certainly a cool development and perfect for today! I would venture a guess that it is new growth since these little guys lie to have babies all around them.
We will all e waiting for an update!!!!
❤HCM❤
This has renewed my love of summer!
Interesting plant. I have no clue either. Cute drawing too. You need to take it to a nursery.
They look like little fruits! Could it be????? Mammallaria fruit? Hmmmmm. Just guessing here. LOL.
Hi Lisa
I have read all the comments - no answer... I am curious.
Anyway, HCM and Labor Day (belated).
Have a nice week, Evelyn
Hi! You are correct in saying these are seed pods. Some cactus develop these after they get there flowers. They will probably turn bright red and eventually fall off. In that way in the wild they can reproduce. The cactus is very healthy. Love your picture also! HCM
Don't you love it when you get answers to life's questions?!
