My First Cactus

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
He got me last Monday my first cactus. I had a collection of cactus in my hometown in Philippines and I even started one in Japan too but I did not stay there long so now I want to start all over again. This will be the first one of my collection.

She is called Confederate Rose (Agave parrasana) .

I have learned that she is a monocarpic. A plant that dies after flowering, although it may take several years to flower.... Very surprising. Let's hope she does not flower. The irony of it. But maybe I can split her into several pots so if one flowers there will be some others left.

Cactus Is so beautiful in my opinion. Its hearty and thick skin make it full of life and rather well protected from the elements. I wish I had cactus skin.

Hi :)

I've been out of town. Is it me or did you change the site design? Looks good.

I had a strange cactus once... It looked more like a pile of spiky snakes though. I forget what it was called, but it lived for at least ten years and never flowered.
