Spiky Macro Monday

A few spiky shots from Secret Garden @ 1 Utama.

A colourful assortment of cactus plants.

A close up look of the cactus. Those spikes are very pointy and this is as close as I can get to. Falling over can be pretty embarrassing and painful. Ouch!

    Lovely! My dad used to have a cactus garden outside and I remember daring myself to go around touching all of them as a small child! Weird!

    Very nice! I used to rent a house and the owner had a massive cactus garden with many different varieties. It was said the garden was worth more than the house - imagine how the owner must have felt when the new tenant ripped it out.

    The cactuses are colourful and striking. With so many spikes, I'm sure they are quite a handful. Happy Valentine's Day to you!

    The pictures are beautiful, but I had to laugh because in French we call these round cactuses "Mother in Law seat" !
