The Crows' Claws Cactus

 

Author's Note: Many years ago this cactus was planted in a little girl's cactus garden that her Dad planted for her. The girl is now an adult and the garden is gone. But this cactus remains as a remembrance of those times. Each year it blossoms and its beauty reminds us of the fun times of the past.---BT

"All gardens are a form of autobiography."

"I am inclined to think that the flowers we most love are those we knew when we were very young, when our senses were most acute to color and to smell, and our natures most lyrical."

----Dorothy Thompson, The Courage to Be Happy, 1957
