Colasanti, ON, Canada

Due to restriction on a picture size I cannot make it better. Jpg artifacts are visible, but if I could upload 300K file - the quality will be much better.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Alex, The cacti are not actually blooming. These are grafted cacti. Certain varieties of cacti are bred just for this purpose. If you look at them from the side, you will see that the top is a completely different kind of cactus than the bottom part, which is green. Let's see. I just found a website that has a few pictures where you can see the bottom of the graft athttp://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/cacti/msg021348034349.html -- Victor

Ed,

Thanks for your comment - these cactuses are not pink - they are blooming. I found them in "Colasanti's tropical garden and petting farm" (close to Leamington, ON Canada). Basically it's not a garden - it's a small shopping mall :)

I also like the unusual pinky color.

I really like this image - I really like how each row is the same, but each succeeding row is different. Where do you find pink cacti? -Ed Hahn
