White background with black text reading: One moment you're downing another shot of tequila, then the next you're sat debating if the bathroom light is too harsh for your indoor cactus. Blessed Mother, what was she even doing with her life anymore? Clara sighed, the sound muffled by a bright green, fluffy, oversized towel wrapped around her head. She didn't have to debate; the answer was a resounding yes. Those cheap, buzzing fluorescent lights were an environmental, and horticultural, crime. Her poor old Ferocactus - she'd named him Bartholomew - had barely recovered from the fungal gnats he’d acquired after the move, and now to suffer this indignity. Sighing, yet again, gingerly she rose from the edge of the tub, wincing as her knees cracked in quiet protest, a sound she definitely hadn't heard when she was twenty-six and confidently ordering her third round. She pulled the switch cord, plunging the bathroom into a softer, less menacing gloom courtesy of the overhead LED vanity lights. "There, you go Bart. Better?" she murmured to the rotund spiky green ball, which obviously offered absolutely no opinion back. Of course. The sad truth wasn't just the tequila-to-cacti pipeline; it was the sheer, baffling speed of the whole transition. Last month, she'd been convinced she was having a renaissance - a flirtation with a handsome, perpetually unavailable bartender named Leonardo, fuelled by late nights and questionably poor decisions… but, she'd told herself she was spontaneous.

She is my girl Spikella, with a tomboy personality and a slightly sharp, teasing sense of humor. She loves to work out and can summon beasts or animals made of cactus

The flower in her hair is from a Ferocactus they have beautiful, colorful blooms that grow on top of the cactus.

The Golden barrel cactus (Echinocactus grusonii) and Red barrel cactus (various Ferocactus species) are drought-tolerant, cold-hardy and require similar simple care, but make sure to plant them with the same sun orientation they had at the nursery for the best results.
Green Valley Gardeners: Cactus for year-round garden colors
Cactus plants can be breathtaking when in flower, usually during spring or summer. However, for brilliant cactus color year-round, look for those with colorful spines, also called thorns.

Just got a small ferocactus latispinus for my growing collection and hope to get blooms at some point. I hear this kind is particularly easy to bloom and do so while young so hopefully even potted I get some flowers.

This young "fire barrel" cactus (Ferocactus gracilis) has grown wider and rounder this year. They're mostly round until 5 years old when they start becoming cylindrical and can reach 5 feet tall. I'm really enjoying this size though. 🌵

A young fire barrel cactus. It is globular in shape and has numerous ribs with bright red spines coming out of wooly areoles. It's in a blue pot.

Juvenile barrel cactus quite possibly a Devils Tongue Barrel Cactus but I'm not sure, grown from a packet of mixed seed circa 2021.

Plant of the week!
Scientific name: Ferocactus wislizeni
In the arid landscapes of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, where water is scarce and conditions are extreme, this cactus not only survives but also becomes a fundamental pillar of the ecosystem.

Love this red Ferocactus flower. Looks like it will be the last one of the season.

I think it’s a Ferocactus cactus. That’s the genus. Still trying to figure out the species
