i also think that they shy away from some of the nicer things about cacti other than not having to water often. what about not having to prune constantly? or mulch or the various other tasks more finicky plants need. also, i think cacti can be pretty romantic... i gave a girlfriend one of my more impressive flowers and said something along the lines of "it lasts only a day and its all for you" roses can't compete with that... too darn common.

If you were to talk about a romantic song, then no. cacti would be ruled out. Like I said in the other posts "Cacti aren't musical enough", that is because they are very stiff and don't move along with the wind to create a musical feeling. All cacti do are just stand there, straight up and tall. Romantic music are very emotional and goes along with nature, like I said about the trees, they blow with the wind to create a musical feeling which can feel romantic and emotional, depending on how you interpret it.

By the way Tom, did you catch that bit on the morning news about the Garden show or whatever down your way?
They had someone from Bachmans on there with a bunch of cacti and bromeliads. Of course it got my attention only to leave me shaking my head when the guy started talking about the "cactus" that puts up a great big tall flower stalk and then dies after blooming. - Not once did the name "agave" come up only "cactus".

All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
