You have such interesting cacti specimens in your garden - I love coming to see your cacti. I like this one - it looks like a puffball. <BR/><BR/>I hope you take the encaustic course at Art Unraveled. Working with wax is great fun - I try and keep my messiness to a minimum. That isn't always easy!!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979577122006222781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-80884197049814001662008-01-31T14:04:00.000-07:002008-01-31T14:04:00.000-07:00Thats a very attractive "plump" specimen!

This particular species is from the Paraguay and Uraguay grasslands, where it's protected by surrounding tall grasses. Not all cacti are from desert regions. Those with fewer spines are usually from areas where they grow with some type of habitat protection. There are some Gymno species that can take more sun than this species and they have more spines.<BR/>A very large number of cacti that folks are familiar with come from the South American countries, as well as South Africa.Aiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-38793691999429739852008-01-31T09:42:00.000-07:002008-01-31T09:42:00.000-07:00I would never had thought of a catcus as sun sensi...I would never had thought of a catcus as sun sensitive. Makes me wonder what habitat niche they grow in the wild. I can't imagine the desert without sun exposure.WiseAcrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383341492994868833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-8068134789046206382008-01-31T06:55:00.000-07:002008-01-31T06:55:00.000-07:00What a beauty.
