About my Cactus Plants: With my neighbors Agave Americana providing me with my first exposure of a cactus "Lightning of the Century" 15 years ago I then started my love affair with these plants. Five years later with the same neighbors plant putting off shoots on my side of the fence, I found my self one day pulling them up and planting them in an orderly fashion on my side of the fence. Ten years later Cidni and I have around fifty different plants, cactus and succulents, in our garden and many more in pots all around the house. What really gets to me about these life forms is their structure, form and texture. Not to mention the complexity! There is so much more to see in these plants than just a glance will provide.
