Maybe you should start to love cacti................:~)

I do, but Himself doesn't :-(( He likes things like Camellias and
Rhodos.

BTW, if you ever fall on really droughty times, Camellias are very
good in droughts. Don't believe the twaddle about how they need
copious water - so long as they have a strong root system when the
drought strikes, they just keep keeping on. So long as you have the
old fashioned ones then they will survive well in a drought - probably
far better than most Australian natives which survive by dying (after
throwing out copious seed which will sprout when the next lot of good
rain arrives).
