1,000-Year-Old Cactus
Last month I hung out with my friend Charles down in Oaxaca. While there, we visited their botanical garden, which contains specimens of nearly every native plant that grows in the state of Oaxaca. The prize plant: a barrel cactus they rescued from a highway project just out of town. It stood a little bit taller than me and was greeted by a near unanimous "Holy shit!"
