The cactus is one of my favourite types of plant. This is either because I’m too lazy to water my house plants or perhaps because I like to think that I share similar characteristics: strength, endurance and uniqueness, but it is more likely the former. You can create some really strange shaped cacti by grafting several widely different forms together. Not many card issues were devoted to the cacti plant family, but the card series featured in this blog is one of those gems.
