Yellow Bloom Cactus
The Yellow Bloom Cactus
The Yellow Bloom Cactus is a species of the Castacaecis family of plants which fall into two main groups; cactuenia and cactoid. Most members of these two groups are easily recognizable as cacti. They have the fleshy green-yellowish stems. They have absent, small, or transient leaves, some have flowers, and some have fruit. The Yellow Bloom has a wide variety of growth habits, which is difficult to divide into a clear, simple category.The Arborescent Variety Of Yellow Bloom
The Yellow Bloom can be tree-like (arborescent), meaning they typically have a single more-or-less woody trunk topped by several to many branches. In the genus Pereskia, the branches are covered with leaves, so the species of this genus may not be recognized as cacti. In most other cacti, the branches are more typically cactus-like, bare of leaves and bark, and covered with spines. Some cacti may become tree-sized but without branches, other cacti can also be described as shrubby, with several stems coming from the ground or from branches very low down.

The Globular Variety Of Yellow Bloom
The Yellow Bloom whose stems are smaller may be described as globular (or globose). They consist of shorter, more ball-shaped stems than columnar cacti. Globular cacti may be solitary, or their stems may form clusters that can create large mounds. All or some stems in a cluster may share a common root.Other Forms Of The Yellow Bloom
Other Yellow Blooms have a quite different appearance. In tropical regions, some grow as forest climbers. Their stems are typically flattened, almost leaf-like in appearance, with fewer or even no spines. Climbing cacti can be extremely large. Vine-like cacti often hang downwards, forming dense clumps where they grow in trees high above the ground.

Beautiful But Deadly
The seeds of most flowers are completely safe for human consumption, used for seasoning food, because of its distinct spicy/peppery flavour, but the darker side of some seeds are their use as poisons. The seed must be ground down to a fine powder and added to food or drink, a small dose may cause headaches, nausea and even stomach pains, a larger dose can be fatal causing most of the major organs in the body to not function as normal resulting in a slow painful death.
