Day 53: Poor Red is the proverbial "middle kid," often overlooked when the showier Zygos are bragging up their hybridized colors. It's hard to compete when your siblings excel in white and yellow, or take honors with fancy trimmed picotee. I've tried to afford this cactus some degree of dignity by bestowing a label reading "Vermilion" on the pot, the titular distinction my way of saying, "See? You haven't been forgotten. Thank you for faithfully flowering year after year after year."
