Life is Like a Cactus...Or is that Caucus?~~State Capitol Cactus Garden 5/2015

"Life is like a cactus...full of pricks but also very beautiful." ~~Anonymous

Near the East end of Capitol Park, is a very small cactus garden that holds an amazing amount of beauty.


And bees...  


I've never seen a curly-cue cacti before.  So cute!  I don't think the pictures do it justice though. 


I was getting a shot of the impressive needles on this guy when I noticed the heart-shaped cactus in the background!  Talk about cute.  

My first thought was to get a close up with my phone to save for future Valentine's Day so I could post it with a pithy quote on Instagram...

However, when I maneuvered the camera into position, I noticed that someone else had already made a pithy statement with this particular cactus. 

Luckily there was another heart-shaped succulent to photograph for the future.



Did I mention the bees?  They love these pinkie orangey flowers as much as I do.





There were also some gorgeous pink flowers. 















Awwww, purple. This makes me happy....er...happier.

Not sure I agree...I like the saying, but cacti this beautiful definitely say love.  Especially when they're shaped like hearts.
