In my youth, in the seventies, we had a small greenhouse in our garden. Together with my brother we grew cactuses in it. We were fascinated by the sturdy forms and magnificent flowers. The cactuses and the greenhouse went away, but the interest in cactuses stayed. In the summer 0f 2020 we had the opportunity to visit the “Cactus Oasis” in Ruurlo, the Netherlands. A lot of cactuses, grown in a large greenhouse for several decades. The patterns fascinated me and resulted in this gallery.
