Prickly Upon Prickly

Prickly Upon Prickly

Macro Monday – A prickly upon prickly cactus at Matthaei Botanical Garden in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This is a lovely place to visit all year round. There is warmth in the conservatory in the winter and lovely blooming gardens along the outdoor trails on nicer days.
