Caretaker's Cottage

Comic relief from a cactus?

We went to Home Depot yesterday to pick up some plants and ran across this really cool looking cactus...

it's appropriately called the bishop's cap cactus due to its shape.  Although the one we saw looked like the cactus on the left, that was intriguing enough for me!  I got home and investigated the cactus today to find out that they can also flower beautifully!  I want one and I don't even care for cactus!

Here's another cactus our family appreciated a couple weeks ago on a four wheeling adventure.  Poor thing must have suffered hallucinations from the heat and imagined jumping right into the mirage of a swimming pool...

Cool Cactus. I have never seen cactus like that before. I will have to check out my local Home Depot!

I just wanted to tell you that I love your profile description. Looking at our homes as you do- with us being the caretaker for the true Owner- really speaks to my heart and gives me new vision. Thank you for it.:)
