For Louise

Our cousin has the most amazing collection of cactus. Each specimen has been lovingly settled into a unique pot, and mulched with colorful gravel, bark, or stones. The whole installation is an art piece. You wander up and down the path exclaiming over the variety of shapes, colors, sizes and configurations. I'm guessing there's over a hundred examples. Her excitement is contagious, and I am in grave danger of acquiring little pointy plants.
