Cacti!!! Is that how you spell cactus?

The above question was posed to me by Miss Syd. No sweetie the word cacti is plural for more than one cactus. Mom that's just weird.

We have a new book, used from the library for only $1, that the girls love it's called "Cacti and Succulents." Pictures, drawings and latin names all piled together into a book of happiness. Sydney and I bought this cactus last week at Bensell's Greenhouse. Today we were very excited to discover the new growth right on the tip of the cactus. Okay, of course it's on the tip. Really Susan, don't you know your meristematic tissues? But if you look really close you will see that there are four fingers popping out of the tip of the plant. Can't tell that she loves her plant, can you?
