Philadelphia Flower Show 2014 - Part 2
/This second post with photos from the Philadelphia Flower Show is dedicated to cactus. I like to photograph cactus; there is a starkness about the plants that matches their environment. The various thorn configurations draw my attention too. Now that I have made several trips to Arizona in the past few years and become more familiar with cactus, I discover myself noticing more about them.
The cactus display at the Philadelphia Flower Show was easier to photograph than many of the flower displays. (Now that I think about it - maybe the crowd was not as thick around the cactus exhibit…flowers were a bigger draw). Enjoy the cactus slide show below. I particular like the plant shown at position 8 below --- it looks like a plant that could be right at home in a science fiction novel!
