At first I looked and thought it was an organ pipe cactus, but now I know it's the genus Echinocereus but I don't know the species. I used to have the exact same cactus and it was also an ugly duckling. It's funny how something so simple as nursing a cactus and letting it grow in a healthy environment can be simultaneously encouraging and metaphorical (is that even a word?)<BR/>I love your hair. It looks so cute in every pic.<BR/>I would also like to echo Patte's sentiment that Bren should have taken a pic of you in your pretty dress. Tell him I said, "When the wife's in a pretty dress, ALWAYS take a pic."<BR/>Love Sarah<BR/>ps-listening to the darjeeling ltd soundtrack. it's really good, mostly Indian music. have you seen the movie?sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418858666284762484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115795635117944100.post-85004224453019312332007-10-15T07:47:00.000-07:002007-10-15T07:47:00.000-07:00Stunning!

All to praise Him & bring Him honor & draw others to Him for the same re-birth & adorning in Christ.<BR/><BR/>Loved the photo from the wedding too. Bren looked so handsome. I wanted to see YOU in your pretty dress too. Did anyone at the wedding take one of the two of you?Pattehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357222290427884324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115795635117944100.post-38508431000537401082007-10-12T14:14:00.000-07:002007-10-12T14:14:00.000-07:00I think yours is a cactus that blooms once a year ...I think yours is a cactus that blooms once a year and the flowers stay open just 24 hours...<BR/>I forget what it's called.
