Wonderful banner, Baja! I guessed that it was yours when I saw it. We need more banners featuring cacti and succulents.

Lovely, Baja! So cute - they look like prickly cup cakes, although putting one in your mouth might not be too clever.

Thank you everyone for the kind words and the acorns.

The bright red spines on those plants are not just eye candy, but also a sign they are actively growing. Something I celebrate in both senses.
