I'm from Texas, where every thing is bigger and better, and where
when you buy tiny plants for your windowsill or desk they are as deadly
as they are pretty. Okay not really deadly but they can hurt if you
don't watch what you're doing!
I just bought these two little babies to protect my desk from
I couldn't leave them in the little plastic pots so I transplanted them today into some old tins I had lying around. They look much cuter and now have bottoms that won't leak.
I love this pic! This cactus is known as the 'Red-headed Irishman' because the spines are red. It blooms with these pretty little flowers during the winter and spring.
This is called 'Moon Cactus' and gets it's color from a lack of chlorophyll at the top, making it orange-ish in coloring, although it looks pink and yellow in the pic. It has a red-ish orange color with some deep yellow and all together looks pretty fabulous.
I had these containers sitting around so I decided they would be perfect for the new cacti. I painted them both white then put snack size bags inside as a liner to keep the water from leaking out the bottom too much. Then I put each in their new homes and they look great on my desk!
Now I just need to think of some names for them!
Have a fantabulous day! :D
