aka Blue Barrel Cactus


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.
