Careful ..... by sunnygreenwood

Careful .....

The stalks sort of look soft ... but not so much! lol. I have a couple of clay pots, each with a variety of cacti that I put outside each summer. They love the extra light. Never occurred to me to take a pic of them until 365 .... ;-)

Many thanks for dropping by.
365 makes you look at everythign differently, doesn't it? In a more appreciative way, certainly. :-) They do look soft...in the thumbnail, I thought it was a jar of tiny cucumbers with their spines still on. :-)

Very cool shot! I love all the details. I've had the same experience at 365. It's one of my favorite parts about this project - the fresh look at all the beauty around me.

It's a lovely photo Anne. I haven't grown many, got one it's about 11/2 ft tall, the spines are soft toward the top, as you get lower they are hard and spiky.

Great shot, Anne.....my mom used to have one of these as a house plant......it was huge and had to be 50 years old!

Nice shot but those sure are nasty when the barbs get stuck in your hand.
