That's a very lovely plant and a lovely story to go with it. Some plants can survive for such a long time that they become part of our stories. I remember we had a cactus that was my great grandmothers that lived for 10 years and 2 moves after she passed away. I still have pressed yellow roses from her rose bushes saved in an old novel on the bookshelf.
We are just nostalgic gals, that's all!!! Hello, @Marxrab!!! How are you!??? It is always good to see you and now you will have to give me a catch up! I am so behind with your life!
I love the story of your cactus and I dry special flowers like that and stick them in the family bible.
