On one of my pandemic perambulations, I came across this amazing wall of cacti. Someone had set up a box like structure with a vertical arrangement of cactus plants in one of the Smithsonian gardens. I think it is quite amazing. I hadn't noticed if they'd been up over the winter but it is April now and the little plants are looking very healthy and colorful. I think these are varieties of a plant called hen-and-chicks and are quite easy to grow in sunlight or partial shade. They are all very pretty and this arrangement is quite inspirational to see. It would be nice to grow some of these on a windowledge in our apartment but alas, there is insufficient light.
