Due to erosion, a large cactus fell over on our land and broke into several pieces. This is one of those broken pieces, and we decide to plant it at the entrance to the house.
Why? Most people wouldn’t plant a broken piece of cactus in such a prominent place.
For me, the answer is simple.
There is beauty in the imperfect. And there is beauty in new life coming from what’s broken.
It may not be what you see in Home & Garden magazines, but this is something that has character, history, and a lived life, and I find that far more beautiful and interesting.
