It kind of made me think of current politics. (Mind you, just about everything these days makes me think of that.) We need more humans to do what that cactus just did. WTF is wrong with us??? We all need to flood the streets and release our closeted indignation.

Sigh. The real thing is so much more beautiful than those dried-up strawflowers. The one that really makes me sad is that monstrose cactus with the purple koosh-ball on it. I've had one of those for years and it has never flowered, but I doubt its flower looks like that.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
