Men with prickles
Now for something completely different. Each time we go to the Queen Victoria Market doing the hunter/gathering thing, we walk past this cacti outlet. I love them, but they are quite expensive: so far the need for food has outweighed the need for a cactus or two!
I discovered there is actually a Cactus and Succulent Society of Australia. The CSSA have some really unique looking plants, such as the two photos to be found here: http://www.cssaustralia.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=63&Itemid=100 Amazing colours!

naughty, naughty… :They are hardy plants so even one would do… lol:
Maybe it’s me, but I was thinking ‘ouch’… :/
No, not just you! I did think of the lack of comfort if this was marketed as a replacement “BOB”!!!
Loved the slide show. Cactus are so vibrant in their colours, they have always been a favourite plant of mine.
The colors on the CSSA site are so unusual for plants! I was stunned!
I will get some, when we get our own house.
Enjoyed the slide show. I had a couple of small potted cacti as a kid. I loved them because I didn’t have to remember to water them very often.
I had some when I was a kid too – I think that is why I like them, it is a reminder of a time long past.
I love succulents, and have bought a few, but then propagated the rest, as they are quite easy to grow from cuttings. Cute pictures of cacti.
Thanks, Sami! Just thought something completely light was needed. Been a bit serious around here lately, what with politics, religion and the new first chapter!
