Very Hairy Balls

Very Hairy Balls
Cactus named Very Hairy Balls,it looks as though it's covered in spider webs but it's the very fine spikey needles.This is Him Indoors' Very Hairy Balls and the first time they've flowered.They prefer partial shade/sun,with minimum water.There are Hairy Balls but they're not as impressive as Very Hairy Balls.

re: crumbs will lead you straight to The Big House - hey, when there's a shortage of flags and flagpoles, people get desperate.
