New babies

On my way to Mom’s, I made a slight detour to a large garden centre near her house.

I needed a couple replacement cacti for my gothic plant house I keep on the kitchen counter.

It perfectly holds six little pots, each with a cacti or succulent. But two had grown too large and had to be moved on, so I needed two more to replace them. This particular garden centre always has a good selection of cacti in tiny pots.

It didn’t take too long to pick out two perfect little babies to join the family. But then… something else caught my eye…

See those little purple bits??? Those are FLOWERS!!! One was actually in full bloom when I bought it, but sadly, I forgot to take a picture right away and it faded before I got the chance. I’ve never had a cactus in bloom before! I can’t wait for the others to open!

And last, I came across something I have been looking for quite a while…

It’s a Boobie Cactus!!! Ok… well actually, it’s scientific name is Myrtillocactus geometrizans Fukurokuryuzinboku…. but plant people just call it the Boobie Cactus. Don’t believe me???

It was on the label!!!!

Now I just need to find a penis cactus…

  1. Oh, my…that’s funny! Yesterday the internet was a buzz with cactus memes because of something in the new Taylor Swift video. I haven’t seen it yet since I don’t have premium subscriptions to the music sites but I have to say I’m very curious now.

  2. They had to call it boobie cactus. Nobody could pronounce the scientific name.

    Good scores on the cactus.

    I just found out that we have a new orchid store in the town next to mine AND that one of the garden centers expanded THEIR orchid selection. Now I just need to save up some $$$$$. LOL
