Mark, those are some interesting looking cacti. I have cared much for cacti because of the spines. But, I received some cuttings from you and that has peaked my interest. I now stop to smell the roses, that is, stop to admire the thorns and beauty and complexity of shapes of the plants and have a better appreciation for them.
for sharing your trip and your love of gardening with us. But I notice that this is entitled 2nd trip . . . do you have a link to the first? I can't recall seeing photos of the 1st. Or maybe I saw them and didn't realize that they were yours.
