Where have you seen a cactus lately?

Recommended Posts

The movie 'Kalifornia'. I think the first one was a trich but otherwise mostly cereus and opuntia.

I can't be the only one to notice cactus in movies, ads, film clips etc? List your sightings here.

The movie 'Bubblegum' which i highly reccomend even if only for the ayahuasca like visuals in the main characters journey within..The shaman is played by the same actor who plays Jake the Muss in 'Once Were Warriors' . Also'Young Guns' must have been the first movie I had ever heard mention the use of Peyote .Although at the time i had no idea that was a cactus lol.

Just seconds ago in a doco about 2012 when they interviewed some old toothless shaman who said the world wont explode this month. Cactus saved it for me. Looked like a huge oreocereus, but a rare one. Nice!

About a year ago I noticed a small opuntia growing as an epiphyte on a huge camphor laurel tree up the street from me, it actually looked pretty cool. over the weeks and months I would always take a glance anytime I drove past and wonder what might become of this little battler.

Yesterday though, the dream all came to an end when I saw someone had ripped it off the tree and thrown it onto the cement traffic island to die.

I'm tempted to put it back up for fun now.

I remember seeing a potted T. pach a year or so ago in the background on some Jamie Oliver cooking show..good chance it was his own kitchen by memory. Not recent but still good.

The US Version of Wilfred has an episode of two with a really nice T. pachanoi patch in the background along one of the driveways.

On my local verge-side rubbish pick-up a few weeks back. 2 nice lengths of pach looking neglected and unloved. Needless to say they have a nice new home and are looking happy. One mans thrash is another mans treasure.

I love 90's Play School. This song has cactus, dancing mushrooms, plus the words "nang" and "bong". It was written by Spike Milligan so I shouldn't really be surprised by the awesome.

A myrtillocactus geometrizans was offered as a prize on "talking about your generation" last night. I think that show's title actually has less gs and more '.
