:: My Cactus........ is cactus

 Meet Goliath.... 
he's a very sad Cactus, the bad cactus bug has got him!

Goliath and I met in 2004, he was my first, I love him, like a every cactus lover does!

Drastic measures...the rot has to be cut.......Goliath is more like David now!

  
Sad isn't he :(

I will update you on his road to recovery?....Have you ever lost a cactus friend?



Goliath in his prime!
 Every January he blooms this one night flower...this is why I love him so much. 
You can imagine my surprise when I first saw him bloom. 
I took out a glass of sav blanc and sat with him, that hot January night!


 On a brighter note, 
it was time to bring home and re-pot some new cactus friends.......my second attempt at building a terrarium.


This is the boy's first cactus, he potted it himself, it now lives in his bedroom....I think they will be firm friends!




 Meet the terrarium...cross fingers, it's a healthy habitat!





 Another new friend in a thrifted pot.....we like a happy ending!
