Home for Old and Disabled Cactus


Some cactus live for hundreds of years, but that does not mean that they survive without injury. Despite their spines, cactus are vulnerable to a host of infections, drought, and physical destruction. The cause of the growth pattern on this cactus, usually called cresting, is unknown and it is relatively uncommon. It does appear on a variety of different cactus species. Here is an appropriate poem.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

From Desiderata by Max Ehrmann
