Little prickly wicklies. I've never seen them so white, I'm used to seeing mostly green. The rocks give a wonderful texture and splash of color. Very pretty.

Yeah...did you know that the spines are modified leaves? I actually learned something in biology!

No, I did not know that. What do you mean modified leaves?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

perylousdemon In reply to xseption [2005-02-19 03:54:03 +0000 UTC]

Well, they're leaves that have evolved into spines over time to protect the succulent part of the cactus (which is actually the stem) from predation. There's also less water loss because photosynthesis doesn't take place in the leaves.

I love cactus!! Then are so nice.
When I was little that was the only plant that wouldn't die when I took care of it.
Great pic, I like the colors.
