Now you need to know my mom - she is very frugal, and does not throw anything away. She is  also persistent. So, when the cactus plant broke off, she just transferred what was left of it, (as one can see by the pictures not much of a plant) to a smaller pot, and placed it on the other side of the house. Her thinking was that maybe it would grow again..... Day after day she watered her garden, and kept an eye on it. Just a couple of days before she took a pick at it and not much was happening......then it bloomed into this rare beauty - We named it "The Miracle". Only our wonderful Creator could create something so stunning and cause it to bloom out of such adversity.
