Du hast ihn sehr schön in Scene gesetzt.
Well success!

Aah Lori, you are going to outlive 10 inches of growth on these cacti. Maybe even 50. Myself, I'm going for 50 so I can be the oldest man alive. :-)) Anyway, this is a super shot. They almost look like dandelion seed heads. I like the sharpness and clarity, and the way your frame matches the rocks in the photo.
Best wishes, Jimmy

Hi Peter!!
Sooo...it's like a 'senile old man'? LOL I know, not really, at firse read I thought you were writing a 'spoof' but then I realized you weren't!!
Fantastic, thanks for looking it up! Why didn't I do that? :)
Very interesting, and only an inch per year? I'd be dead before I saw one 50 feet high! Then again, I'd be dead before one grew 10 feet high!! Now THAT'S a sobering thought isn't it? LOL Thanks again dear friend!
Lori :)

I think I've found it's name.. The picture is from the web and not very good....
This Old Man Cactus Cephalocereus Senilis has a shaggy, tousled mane of white "hair" that gives it personality. The dense white hair conceals a danger: fierce, 2 inch yellow brown spines. It needs very high light and shouldn't be grown in the kitchen as the long hair will become coated with any grease particles in the air. When it gets to be 15 years old it may bloom, the flowers are delightful rose-colored. It grows at only an inch a year. It requires a porous soil with limestone added and less than average water at all times. In nature, plants may grow to a height of 50 feet, bearing rose-colored flowers on a lateral cephalium, that part of the stem with the thickest growth of hair. It does not normally bloom when grown indoors.
Your friend, Peter

Hi Lori, A cactus? Thought it was a huge cotton candy left behind... ) but now I see the spikes, quite a convincing disguise! Nice shot, and as usual very well composed.
Take care,
Cheers,
Hugo
