Hi all, sorry I haven't been on much the last few days my Mom was in the hospital and I just brought her home today. Anyway back to the topic at hand lol. Leo and I were out wandering the yard today and he noticed that our hookbarrel cacti are in full bloom, our question is, since I can't find anything about it on the internet. Are hookbarrel flowers and fruit edible for Leo? If any of you know please let me know, I would hate for Leo, oh and Shelley to miss out on this treat.

The flowers are not toxic. Sorry to hear about your mom. Is she ok now?

She is doing OK, she somehow pulled a ligament and a muscle in her right groin and is in a ton of pain. She is 78. Cool flowers are good to eat then, what about the fruit?
