Kiss A Cactus! (Steve Begins New Year With Cactus Kiss - January 2, 2008)
 |
It was January 2, 2008, and I was visiting
Manitou Springs, Colorado, Colorado with friends.
Being the cactus enthusiast that I am,
I suggested we stop by the Manitou Cactus Shop
(located on lower Ruxton Avenue) to see the retail cactus collection.
Adjacent is a photo of "Kansas Kelly" holding a cactus with Lars
(a professional photographer) snapping a picture. :) |

They really do have a nice array of cacti and succulents.
You can see a previous pictorial from a visit in March 2007:

There it is! I kissed that cactus baby! YAY!
The official name of the cactus is called Pilosocereus Magnificus.
Oh and yes, my lips really did touch that cactus. I pushed my lips up against it a few times and while
I'll admit that it definitely hurt, it was worth it.

Two more photos of this particular cactus. |
