Checking out the cacti

After our initial discussion about cacti, I decided that we need to go see a cactus to understand its properties. We headed to a local nursery, Twelve Corners, to investigate. Unfortunately, the did not have any.

Our next stop... (and the only other place that I knew that definitely had cacti)... Wal-Mart.

Here are a couple of pictures of Aikman checking out the cacti.

At one point, he didn't realize that some species had very sharp needles, and put his hand right on top of it. ouch! ouch! ouch!

I captured the moment right after he touched it, and I asked him if he'd ever touch another cactus again. The response: "No! No!"
