Can you be in love with a plant? I'm sure lots would say it's entirely possible. Ever since we went to Greece for our honeymoon I've been longing for a prickly pear cactus. It was nearing the end of summertime in Greece, so many of my photos feature wilted and desaturated looking cacti. But still! Gah! How can I have one? How do I care for one? How do I keep our plant loving cat away from one?? Course one pricker to the nose, and Moo might stay away on his own.
We're thinking about incorporating a built in planter to our entry way/kitchen/living area. It's still in the works, but hoping we can pull it off. We've talked about herbs for the kitchen or just nice air-freshening, cat friendly plants. But I meannnn some cacti would be cool... Generally speaking, they are a staple of the whole MCM Cali-desert style. #myinspiration. I think we could create our own enclosed sanctuary in our little 1960's ranch in snowy Michigan.
Anyway, enjoy all this cactus loving goodness below. And don't even get me started on the tall Saguaros... I'm setting my sights on the flowering prickly pears first.
This is basically just a glorified post of my curated #plantlady Pinterest board. See the full bucket of inspiration here.
And a few pricklies from our honeymoon. ♥ Like I mentioned before, they were pretty end-of-season-ish...
Take me back!
