It'll Do, Apparently

Didn't get much rain so far, but the cacti have decided it'll do and are going about the second round of making baby cacti...

Thnak you for this educational post. You see, I wanted to ask where baby cacti come from (since dad and I never had that talk), but I was too embarrassed to ask. And nobody on the street seemed to know.

I love cacti flowers and I publish pics of mine on my gardening blog. I have an appreciative audience of 1, that is /t.

Stunningly gorgeous images. I write haiku, and these have the spiritual particularity of satori.

Also, thanks for being the first being to comment at my alternative blog.

sj: The Tao of the Lamb - she is special...

ll: You always know what to say!

pw Bees get laid twice!

Lex I saw the pictures - you have some nice plants. The cactus with the red flowers is an Arizona Barrel. So far my Golden Barrels haven't show any sign of flowering.

caramaena: Hi!! Thanks. I need to get out to the Saguaro National Monument and check it out one of these days. I'll bet there are lots of flowers down there...

pk:I like Haiku but got tired of the strictures and came up with the Frome, a four line poem. I have some on MOPP4.

I have to add some more of you to my links as soon as I get over this latest bout of laziness...

kb: Little known fact - Huskies are also prodigious pollinators. Yukon, for instance, likes to rub his stank on bushes and flowers, thereby picking up the pollen in his fur. Lots of pollen. Then spreads it to the next bush. Ok it is a rather hit or miss process...

Hahaha! I'd never thought of 'other' pollinators before!
