The Cactus Story

We have two-three different types of cacti and succulent plants in our garden, and there was one variety that used to give beautiful flowers of bright colors. Then, for some reason that I never understood, pigeons attacked and destroyed those plants till there were only a few miserable stems left. They never recovered, never had the chance to, and withered up and died. After that, my mother planted a new and different type of plant in their place, the ones below. The pigeons didn't spare these either but they are hardier and are able to survive and thrive despite the attacks. I suppose it just goes to show- Survival of the Fittest! :)  







The picture below is of our aloe vera plant and I don't know if it is a cactus or not, but I put it up anyway because I liked it and thought it would look nice. :)
