Ace things about Melbourne

- * Its vibrant multiculturalism
- * Royal Botanic Gardens.
- * Shady Caroline Street in South Yarra
- * The disco balls hanging above Rankins Lane in the city

That cactus has a nice hair but the spikes are too long for my taste.
ReplyDeleteMy mom gave me one of these one year, I kept it in my room for ever. I love when they flower! :)
ReplyDeleteHi chrome. Yep, ir's spikey all right.
ReplyDeleteHello Diedre. I was please when I realised it was flowering season when I got to the arid garden. I think because cacti are so spiky and unfriendly and sometimes even ugly, it's a surprise when they produce a purdy little flower.
