We have opportunity from time to time to visit several Botanic Gardens, The Devonian Botanic Gardens in Devon, Alberta, connected with the University of Alberta, and Manito City Park in Spokane, Washington. Both have very nice collections of cacti and succulents and though I love the flowers and take every opportunity to photograph them, I am especially intrigued by the shapes and forms and patterns of these unusual plants. I thought, for that reason, that I would do a post featuring some of these unique forms but without trying to identify them. Those who are better acquainted with these plants than I am will probably know their names anyway, and those who don't will very likely be, as I am, more interested in just seeing them. I hope you enjoy the post and are not bored by the large number of pictures.
