Cheery cactus

Finally

For the first time in my life I have become a cactus owner. This little guy is so cheerful and looks so cute in my little yellow vintage Pyrex dish. I love having him here next to my sink to relieve me from the drudgery of washing the dishes.

For some reason I was never drawn to cacti as houseplants in the past because I was afraid that their prickly needles would harm me if I accidentally collided with one. They just didn't seem friendly and warm and I'm all about harmony in my home.

But after seeing a Flickr member create this combination, I was inspired to re-create it so I can enjoy it too... and indeed I am!
