  9. Caite-- They certainly give a horror movie sense of movement, don't they?

    Kaye-- Perhaps that's why critters feel so safe amongst them... they know humans think of snakes and will stay away! LOL

    Diane-- They're one of my favorite plants at the Garden.

    Beth-- Caterpillars? They do! Never thought of that; probably because I'm stuck on what I thought when I first saw them.

    Barbara-- The common name is "octopus cactus" and I always hear Ringo singing "In an octopus's garden" when I see them. :)

    Kathy-- They aren't the type of cactus that reacts to body heat, so as long as you don't fall in, you'd be okay.

    Dorte-- Another good description!

    Dawn-- Cacti are so much fun. I ought to post a bunch of photos of them I've taken at the Garden.

    SuziQ-- I think "octopus" when I see them, and I think octopi are a bit creepy.

    Leslie-- I hadn't either. Now I think of them as buddies. LOL
