Pic 1--Ocotillo in winter before it gets its green leaves in winter, red plumes on top in spring, yellow flowers in summer and then back to being bare again in winter! Pic 2--Teddy Bear Cholla; nothing soft or fuzzy about it! big \'chunks\' drop off , blow away and not to mention \'stick\' to you like burrs. Pic 3--My neighbors cactus. Not a barrel. something similar but forget what it is called. Pic 4--Agave Ferox in a public parking lot Pic 5--Your friend and mine...WISE CACTUS!!! When I asked Wise Cactus what is \'beauty\' and what makes something or someone beautiful he said to me, \"Agave, remember, beauty is a siren. It calls to us but rarely tells the truth. No matter how dangerous it can be we race perilously towards it because whatever deceives seems to produce a magical enchantment in our lives.\" Peace. Out.
