Here are a few of my crazy cacti 😁: Crested Opuntia mamillata, Cereus peruvianus monstrose, Cereus forbesii monstrose, and Pachycereus schottii monstrosus

Yes. Elephantiasis is no laughing matter!

I think we could all use some comic relief, so here's an unaltered photo I took at the wholesale nursery today.

I look forward to some amusing comments.

Is "tree of the day" a thing here? Because if it is, sign me up! I'm a plant-obsessed landscape designer and fellow tree worshipper.

I also happen to live near Sequoia National Park in California.

Dear friends and family, Please keep your platitudes to yourself. If you want to pretend like everything is hunkydory, I can't and don't want to relate to you. Reality sucks right now, and it's only going to get suckier. If you don't strap on your seat belt, don't act surprised when you get catapulted through the windshield.

Is that a thumb I see?! This is Rigby. (He has a huge surplus of extra toes.) Are they brothers from another mother?!

3 Cat Night
My silly white one curled up at my feet, my striped Bengal stretched out on top of my left thigh, and my little gray goose curled up adjacent to my right thigh. I'm trapped under a warm, cozy pile of cats. La vie est parfois belle. #caturday

Looks like Anigozanthos 'Masquerade'. I have some too. It's one of my faves! Blue flowers are so hard to find!
