Plants
After church we went to the garden center (again) where I found the most spectacular cactus the world has ever seen. Actually, I found about twenty of them, but I could only buy one (I don't get paid that much). The bottom part of it (the trunk, more or less) is the typical green cactus color. However, on top of that is this massive hot-pink prickly sphere, with a couple other spheres growing off it. It was way too amazing, and made the "flaming sun" pansy I'd picked out simply for the purpose of photographing it look pretty lame. I bought the pansy anyway (it's not the pansy's fault it can't be the coolest plant in the world) but I'm too enamored with the cactus to want to do anything with it. I feel kind of bad. Even though it would have suffered a little disappointment being put back because of its obvious inferiority, it probably would've been better off sitting on the shelf at Pioneer Garden. At least they knew what to do with it.

I would very much like to see a picture of the "best plant in the world"! Instead, I can only imagine how cool this cactus would look. I enjoy taking pictures of flowers and plants, but I have not yet gotten the privilege of photographing such a unique plant. I simply take pictures of my iris' and daisies... which are still amazingly splendid! :) I'm so glad that God made such a variety of flowers and plants.
