That´s an impressive collection of cacti. (I´m always tempted to write "cactuses" but I know the plural form is "cacti", as unnatural as it sounds :D)
Cactus is often associated with Mexico but ironically, during those 2 years that I lived there, I didn´t see many cacti (they don´t actually occur much in the part of Mexico where we lived) so the biggest cacti I have seen so far were these monsters on Tenerife. Almost as tall as the nearby hotel :)
Cool shots and a great write up, thanks for sharing your cactus experience with us Erika! :)
