Today, we’d like to take a look at a plant that is especially close to our, er, hearts – the cactus! The following pictures will prove that this prickly green friend can be quite a source of amusement.
First, let us introduce the species with a little help from Wikipedia: “Cacti are distinctive and unusual plants (you bet), which are adapted to extremely arid and hot environments (absolutely), showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features (ah-huh, we’re listening) which conserve water. Their stems have adapted to become photosynthetic and succulent, while the leaves have become the spines for which cacti are well known. Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes” – though we all know that size doesn’t matter.
This red cactus is apparently common in Yucatan and even said to have, er, enhancing properties if boiled and eaten as a soup. Right…

The next specimen belongs to the Cephalocereus gaumeri species and is often referred to as “old man” cactus, because of the white wool on top looking like long white hairs – not what you’re thinking. The limp things hanging down from the cactus fruits are flower remains. Maybe it’s not a cactus man after all?

At the risk of this post missing good taste by a few inches, here’s a real “cactus” problem regarding someone’s “red ball cactus” that will leave you speechless:
“I believe that is the name, it was a green stock with a red prickley ball on the top. I recieved it in first grade and a few years later, the ball dried up. I still have it and the ball is still attached but it is dried up and yellow/brown…. Could you let me know if there is anything I could do to make my cactus less overwhelming?”
Told you! There’s nothing we could possibly add after this excursion into nature’s sense of humour.

A Google image search for “cactus penis” finds this and many other cacti that should have been on the list.

Any idea on the species for pic #4? Never seen structures on a cactus like that before, but it looks similar to a mycelium/hyphae network.
Sadly the photographers flickr page doesn’t know either.

Ahhhhh cacti – what can’t they do?

That guy in the 2nd last picture will never live this down.
He thought it would be just a funny pic that his co-workers would never see – he thought wrong.

I was expecting something slightly creative. Instead, it’s just plants starting out from the ground and growing upward as efficiently as possible, which is often a straight line. This article should have been called ‘Pictures of Cacti From Artists With Cock On Their Minds That Were Smart Enough To Convince Some Robotic Moron That This Shit Was Worth An Article.’
Oh, I guess thats a bit long.
