Cacti & Succulents

new old man

10 years ago

I attended an estate sale last Friday.
I went to get a certain framed picture (which I did get).
But along the driveway there was a small collection of cacti.
I thought this guy was outstanding, so I purchased it.
10 bucks. Crassula tetragona included.
I like how the thing tapers. What causes that? It looks like a mortar shell.

Anyways standing in the line to pay with those spines was interesting! No one tried to cut in!

Ditto what GeeS said. You may now get an hourglass figure if it starts growing well under your care. :P

Hee Hee, maybe from now on I will carry a cactus when I know I'll be in long lines!
