One of my favorite quotes is: “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.” -Alphonse Karr. I love cacti, all of them. I like how they are stubborn and gritty and have adaptations to survive in harsh environments. I love their varied shapes and colors. Mostly, I love them as a metaphors for life. Life can be prickly, but we can bloom anyways!
