Spiral galaxy 278O (the "o" is for ouchies) in the constellation Gemini.

Closeup photograph of the top of a cactus plant (possibly M. geminispina). The cactus has a spiral pattern that begins at the top of the plant and continues down the plant's side consisting of alternating green and white stripes that circle the plant. The green stripes are exposed green flesh while the white stripes are made up fuzzy white hairs. Amber cactus spines project from evenly spaced locations along each green spiral except at the very top where the cluster together and project toward the top center.

Sure millions will suffer under the Trump tariffs, but my succulents are THRIVING with all the extra attention my stress relief garden's getting!

Photo of a 7-inch terracotta pot containing an assortment of small succulents in the bright morning sun. At the center is Echeveria “Pink Crystal”, surrounded in a clockwise circle from 12 o'clock by Crassula perforate “Baby's Necklace”, Sedum adolphi “Coppertone Stonecrop”, Aeonium arboretum, Aeonium “Sunburst”, Graptosedum “Vera Higgins”, Sedeveria “Pink Ruby”, Sedum dasyphyllum “Corsican Stonecrop”, Euphorbia ritchiei, and Sedum rubrotinctum “Pink Jelly Bean”.

How do you prepare San Pedro?

First, the cactus is sliced. You get star shaped slices. The shape varies depending on the number of ribs and the size of the cactus.

The tip of the cactus is usually kept to grow another plant, by simply placing it on a fresh soil.

I didn't have a photo of this step, and I found this one on Wikimedia Commons.

A few slices of San Pedro, green on the outside and white in the middle.

In this close-up photo, you can see that San Pedro cacti have 6 to 8 ribs. The plant grows more ribs as it gets bigger. Of course the symbolic of the number of ribs can be of importance during ceremonies. I heard some have as many as 13, 17...!

Notice also the nice green-blue colour.

This photo was taken from the same botanical garden than the previous one.

Saguaros on the Adobe Trail: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/saguaros-on-the-adobe-trail-lisa-s-baker.html

In the quiet desert, vibrant saguaro cacti rise beside blooming orange flowers, their colors alive against the warm, earthy tones of the land. The sky above blends soft blues and golden hues, as if the sun itself is gently cradling the scene. As the breeze whispers through the flowers, it feels like time slows down, inviting a sense of peace. The desert, with its rugged beauty, tells a story of endurance and quiet strength, where every bloom and cactus is a reminder of nature’s resilience. In this moment, surrounded by warmth and color, you can almost hear the land breathe. A watercolor mixed media art print by Lisa S Baker.
