Now that is the way to be creative!

Still ugly :-)

Kathy, can we maybe just call it bizarre? Slightly outlandish, eccentric, flakey stuff is what I like the best. Maybe that's why we're such good friends .... grinning!

Roselee, I have to agree with Kathy on this one.........I am just NOT a cactus person. But I can also agree with your being creative.

I know it looks silly, That's why I thought y'all would get a kick out of it. Richard and Carrie, thanks for giving me points for creativity anyway. I think that eventually the arms will grow larger and closer together so the scar won't show.

Actually, it does not look bad. I just can't resist giving you a hard time. The day may come when I will have to make changes.

Kathy, I know. Some of us are such teases. And yes, a lot of us are feeling the need to make some changes in our gardens. I'd love to live some place like Oregon or Florida where it rains more because I love a tropical jungle type of a garden, but even there it seems they can't count on not receiving some unusual weather.

I like the idea, not the shape of the pot. I think it would look better if the pot were round, oblong, kinda like the cactus' new growths. It will look great in a couple of months, even without the pot.

Omar

That's what I need: a baby pumpkin pot! Omar, thanks for the idea. I'll look around and see what I can find that would match the shape of the new arms. There might be someting else that would cover the scar, something that wouldn't hold the new arms apart or impede their growth in anyway.

That's neat! A living plant stand. I wouldn't have thought to do that. From a purely physics point of view, I don't see how the new growth can stay attached if they get much larger or taller. Their attachment points seem quite small for their weight, but I don't know much about cactus.

Jim

Jim, I agree. It looks like the new arms would just pop off. I don't have that much experience with cactus either so we shall see. I've gathered up several more things to try as Omar suggested.. Anyway, thanks for looking and for your comments!

Believe it or not Kathy was so enthralled with my cactus invention (yeah-right) she had to come see it for herself. She brought a blue tile she thought I might be able to use. Do you think she likes it? ...

Or maybe not ... lol ... I love that expression. At least she's trying ...

No big deal among forever friends ...:-)

We've decided just to enjoy life no matter what.

Oh look, Max is there thinking of "watering" it or me.
Always a hoot to be around you two. Had I known you were going to take my picture, I would have worn those floppy yard shorts.

Well, it's good to see pics of you two, even if it is only to look at a cactus..............LOL> Looking "snappy" in your blue.
