Cacti

A friend generously brought me a cactus shortly after we moved here. One of my son’s friends figured out what kind of cactus it was, and stole a chunk.  I never learned anything more about that. The whole top part you see is what has regrown in six years since he cut a chunk off.

Alas, a recent windstorm broke two of the three branches — but not the new one!

I gave away the tip of one branch. The other I planted. The bright green indicates new growth.

And the broken branches are busy regenerating as well.

Alas, two bits don’t seem to be faring very well.

Maybe I’ll have to find another use for them?
