| A little dish cactus garden. Later this little arrangement would be attacked by red spider mites, killing half of the inhabitants before I discovered the problem. The remaining survivors found a new home in the fireplace cactus garden. Somehow just moving things into a more natural habitat balances conditions enough so that spider mites get added to someone else's menu...ants, spiders, wasps something in nature designed to counter balance a surplus. |
What a nice collection. There is nothing prettier than a cactus bloom.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Sadly many people have not yet discovered just how many amazing translucent multicolor flowers are out there in the cactus kingdom, and for Texans many of them occur close to home.
