Prick

Subtitle: Defensive

I've always liked cacti, ever since I was little. I think boys/guys like cacti because of three crucial elements: they generally need bugger-all care; they have spikes/barbs/prickly bits that clearly say "Don't FUCK with me!"; and they're the antithesis of girly flowers. It is what I'd call, a manly plant. And usually wherever I've lived, I've had one as the token house-plant.

I'd have to say my two favourites are: the ones that looks like green furry brains; and the very prickly squat round ones. This is a close-up of a great big squat one, and good god this guy is heavily defended. Take a close look, there are at least five spines per grouping and they cover the entire plant.

Course, if you had two more of him you could juggle.
