Cactus Obsession

So here's the cacti I found blooming in the cemetery where Himself's family plots are when we went to visit Mama Himself's resting place. I was walking around taking pictures of some of the really old monumental stones when I looked down and saw this:


They were actually growing all over the place--little flat, round cactus knobs peeking out of the ground. It was really cool. I believe it's some type of hedgehog cactus--common name being "Horse Crippler" cactus, for fairly obvious reasons. So later that day when we went on to the town in the Hill Country we were married in I not only looked for cool Mexican pots (which of course I found), but also some cool cacti:

Above on the left in a cool Mexican pot is a Texas Blue Barrel cactus, which looks a lot like the one I found in the cemetery. Next to that is a Lace cactus adorning the super cool froggy I have dubbed: "Senor Don Napolito de Rana y Talavera"


A few days later the lace cactus bloomed, I think Don Napolito looks quite proud of himself...



The pinkish cactus at the top of this set is a Rainbow cactus, the other two are anonymous cacti I picked up at WallyWorld, although I'm thinking the one on the right is some kind of barrel cactus. I filled in the edges with some succulents I already had.


And speaking of succulents, this Kalanchoe is just gawgeous!
