My Cactus Flourishes

What does my cactus show me? 

I knew it had grown a lot but I was surprised by how much it
had grown in 6 years.

The same cactus in 2005
 The plant took time, attention, care, and lots of light to grow

I feel that life is the same way.

    And I have noticed that sometimes plants take off while you are not looking. Again a bit like life.

    Wow, that is SOME cactus, you must have a really green thumb!! It is kind of unusual looking, too, I have not seen one like it.

    Whoa, I have never seen a houseplant cactus like that. It's beautiful. If it were at my house, it would be dead. I live up north - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

    Hi, when my kids were little I had a garden with some tomato plants. And without being staked and fed and watered (loved) they might grow up with some sun - but my lesson was they would not grow up tali and straight without the SON!
    You are so right about needing things to help us grow, sandie

    Cool cactus. Another metaphor is that a cactus like a life must be handled with care. Ouch!
