Chester Zoo is keen for people to remember that its full title includes the words Zoological Gardens and that plants,trees and flowers are an important area of its work. This is a cactus photographed in The Growing Zone. A hot house for the Zoo's orchid,cactus and succulent collection.
I hope you enjoy this slightly different Friday Foofy.

Rather a prickly sort but it will save the cactus from the animals and humans. An unusual but good Friday Foofy.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Very unusual but lovely foofy! Wish that on this cold day I was at this Growing Zone...

Well you certainly wouldnt want to accidentally sit on this amazing plant. I like how the little flowers are starting to show themselves. Well done!

ooooh My nan used to have one of these things on her parlour window sill. As a kid I think I was a few brain cells loose, coz every single time I would touch and get spines in my finger that had to be picked out. Never learnt lol. ( umm anyone got any tweezers?)

I sure would hate to stumble in a patch of these. OUCH! Very interesting foofy, and a great shot.

OOO prickLY - and I know they hurt but they make a super show - nicely captured Steve, with such intricate detail.

Cute, I like all the little fluorescent flowers.

I got this in the VB and liked it. Didn't know it was yours though. great clarity on the cactus stems. I would have considered zooming in on a select few of them for even greater detail rather than the whole pot.
