Nature's Wallpaper

I am privileged to work in a large Botanical Garden in Southern California with a truly gifted curator of our Desert Collections, John Trager. Our job is to care for, propagate, and distribute rare and amazing cactus and other succulents. We have an amazing number of species from all over the world in our potted collections and gardens, and ultimately, we are working hard to keep these plants from disappearing from our wonderful planet. Every year we introduce a list of new offerings, and are constantly adding to our ever-expanding collection. Truly a mission of the heart.

    Beautiful design. I could definitely see this being sold as wallpaper. I used to have a couple cacti... but I went on vacation and people forgot to water the poor darlings and they dried up :-( I guess even cacti have watering limits
