How Cool is That?

 This is part of a lamp mobile with hanging glass circles which remind me of bubbles. They reflect the light from the battery powered candles. It is practical art. How Cool is That?
 A cactus close up spines so fine you want to touch them because they look so soft. What you don't see are the barbs at the ends of those spines. Amazing that a plant would grow these spines. How Cool is That?
 It is amazing how this cactus grows by starting with the little petals in the middle and as they grow they make room on the inside for more baby petals. It spirals out constantly during the growth cycle. How Cool is That?
 In this cactus, the spines grow from the middle outward. It is like unfolding a porcupine. It looks like a mess but it is in line with one of the ridges on this plant. How Cool is That?
 Funky flowers that look like snow. One of the rare times that the desert has snow. You don't want to throw these little snowballs. They pack a punch with spines that will make you regret it. How Cool is That?
This cactus is growing out of it's breeches. It's split ends are curling. It must be a girl cactus. The curls are whimsical and lovely. How Cool is That?
