Wowsers! That is really pretty!

Another beauty!
Out of the Spines of pain emerges a delicate beautiful blossom!

HEY! Wasn't I just chatting with you 2 on another forum? LOL. Looks like you 2 are hanging out together. Hot date on DG for a Friday night. LOL


Thanks. I do not even remember that photo and usually I can even place where I took them.

Oh KIn, I have been bitten by the succulent bug. I am moving fast thru it, my latest love is agaves. I am so into the big teeth now. How odd for me.
