Some of you may know that I'm an African Violet addict, I stated that on my profile, it's not a secret. However,  things have changed, I'm not collecting them anymore but selling them. It's not something that I've planned, this just happened. I'm grateful for that because these flowers are propagating without any intervention from my part and at some point something needs to be done as my space for flowers is limited. I'm glad because I know these flowers end up being taken by people who love flowers.

Long story short, my next project is going to be a cactus, most likely. During my high school years I had a few but those were not like what you can get now.

I've been very hesitant regarding what to buy and truth to be told, sometimes there's none on the market. Last time in June I saw a bunch but could not buy any unfortunately.

You may ask why I am hesitant. Well, the problem is these cacti are labeled simply Cactus and that's all. Normally you should see a name, the type of cactus it's up for sale but these people are lazy or don't care about labeling properly the product.

Not knowing what you have in front of you makes it harder to decide. I need one that won't grow very much and fast. I'd like a cactus that is flowering every year more than once if possible. Is it too much to ask?

Tomorrow I'm going to the supermarket again and if I'm lucky and can find a few, I'm going to spend half an hour surfing the internet in order to identify them and learn about them.

It's going to be interesting, me standing in front of the shelves, taking photos, uploading and trying to identify cacti. We'll see, maybe I'm going to make another post about my adventure. Wish me luck so I don't get into trouble with security :))

I hope you liked my cacti show. This is my entry to #marketfriday hosted by @dswigle.
