...Cacti...An Extraordinary Beauty....

in #photofeed5 years ago (edited)

...what do you think about cacti???
...do you like them???...you don't care if you like them or not maybe???....
....whatever is your opinion about cacti and general about succulent plants i have to admit that i was one of those who underestimated the beauty of these creations and just ignored them....until i got my first cactus and then!!!....the miracle happened....
....when i saw the first baby cactus coming out growing , i fell in love with them....

..from that day i read a lot about cacti....so i started learning about when it is the right period to re-pot a cactus ,how to grow them ,when they need water how to propagate them and many other things which is very helpful if you wanna get your cacti to live and grow!!!
...it is very important ...at least it WAS very important to me that a cactus is a very low maintenance plant so it doesn't need so much care and doesn't consume much of your precious time...

...but don't you think i've said too much??...i think i'm gonna make a steemstem post where i am going to give you many details about specific cacti species but for today i will just display my beauty....it's a Euphorbia genus cactus but i do not know the actual species...Euphorbia genus is a very very big family of cacti counting more than enough different species...
...the one you see in the pictures below most probably is a Euphorbia Knuthii or at least a variation of Euphorbia Knuthii....i really searched a lot in order to find the true name of my cactus but nobody could give me a straight answer...
...anyway i'm presenting you my beloved cactus to admire its beauty for yourself....enjoy...

Cactus?

Are you certain it is not an asparagus (maybe a wild one?) with thorns?

I happen to love the more common kind of cactus (you often see it on the side of the road...I saw many when driving to Kalamata. I love their flowers and their fruit is one of my favourite (alla prokalei dyskiliotita).

I also love the hairy cactus (the thorns grow long and very thin, so that they look like balls of hair. Just don't stick your hand into one.

I thought you were coming to South Africa towards the end of last year. If you do come, check out the multitude of cacti growing/available in this country.

yes it is a cactus...it's a euphorbia but i don't know its species...
...anyway...i was supposed to be in SA on October/November but i had to reschedule,most probably for April...
...we'll see!!!
....thanks for the comment..thanks for stopping by
