That's how it's been with the opuntias I have. They look phenomenal from a respectful distance, but in a small garden like mine it, it would be impossible not to get hurt by them. <br /><br />But if I ever move to the desert, you bet I'll have an entire cholla patch!Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-38372481876286719312015-01-22T12:52:12.423-08:002015-01-22T12:52:12.423-08:00Good thing I have many more photos.

I've experienced it here, and at the Huntington. This last time at the Huntington was my 3rd, and the first where I was alone for the whole time. That made such a difference, to not be worried about what my garden companion(s) were feeling. Eagerly awaiting your next entry in the series...(and oh how I want a teddy bear cholla!).danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-91427760330753006202015-01-21T23:06:44.635-08:002015-01-21T23:06:44.635-08:00We never get tired of looking at photos of this pl...We never get tired of looking at photos of this place, keep 'em coming!Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.com
