My grandmother had a prickly pear (or something like that) & I used to get the stickers in my finger (on purpose) so I could use her tweezers to get them out.

This is due to the large number of them which pierced my skin when I was a child because they grew wild where I lived. Some of the spines were huge and scary and some were tiny and impossible to get out. <br />My skin still feels their ghostly pain-presence.

I have a soft spot for cactus and had a window full of them until a couple winters ago. Ice fell and broke the window. I lost the window area involved in the replacement, so gave them all away. People wondered at my big collection and I gave them my dad's advice: only water them when it rains in Arizona.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-63822446861236542252013-06-22T10:14:19.765-05:002013-06-22T10:14:19.765-05:00Ooh...I love cacti.

I wish I could grow some outside, but we have brutal winters in Kansas. I love your pics and really enjoy the agave.turquoisemoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893008689507282266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-38592129584987838602013-06-22T09:44:59.982-05:002013-06-22T09:44:59.982-05:00wow! just wow! he has an AWESOME variety!

Not because the grands messed with them but because the cactus must come inside in the winter and we ran outta room. The hummingbirds just love the red yucca here.<br />Thanks for the trip with you to a friends....I enjoyed myself and I hope I behaved....tee hee.
