I had several to choose from this time, but I think I'll go against my norm and post a cactus that was in bloom yesterday instead of another kind of succulent:

When thousands of foes unite, for my ruins plot–
If only You remain by my side, I then fear not!
I live for a hoped union with thee, it is my desired prize–
Or all my moments are spent- in the fright of demise!

A surprising number of cactus flowers in the greenhouse today, some lingering from summer and some that only flower at this time. Here's on in its season, Turbinicarpus jauernigii:
