Wr do the same thing for my great grandmother's cactus. The thing has to be 150 years old or so.
This is a beautiful shot.

thanks. i have a couple other plants that belonged to my grandmother as well. these living remembrances are special, aren't they?

Special indeed.
And remarkably heavy.
Our cactus is huge.

we divided up the peonies, so no one got one giant shrub, but yes, i can imagine the cactus!

My mom has had it since she went to college.
She just turned 52.
Every spring, I have to carry it out onto the porch for the rest of the season/summer.
My shoulder usually comes out the worse for wear.

imagine when you are 52 and carrying a plant now twice the size around!
