Wedded plants

April 6, 2012

chair/curiosity plant, chair/blue majesty, April 2012

Mornings still in the high 20s this week; even the daffodils haven’t come up yet so unable to sate my craving for blossoms I took these cactus pictures.

These plants are guardedly ancient- the Cereus peruvianus monstrose dates to my wife’s early childhood, and the Pilosocereus pachycladus shares our wedding anniversary. Old,  wooden and seasonally disinclined, still the pairing has a  connection with spring the belies the sexless, leathery and sullenly spiny carcasses of the plants. Not a flattering association by any means,  but a modest nostalgic one in the traditions of any devoted pairing growing from a spot on a mutual calendar. Brute perennial inevitability.  No romantic flourishes or even obvious compatibility except the proximity to its own consoling number. Near, rather than together. Dates, rather than weather.
