Cactus Garden at Phuket Botanic Gardens
Cactus in a pot
During our visit to Phuket Botanic Garden there was part of the garden which was filled with various cactuses. The kids were fascinated to see these prickly plants and wanted to know more about them. They were fascinated to learn that there is water stored in the stems of the cactus and many people rely on the cactus as a source of nutrition while in the dessert.

I loved how rustic the enclosure looked with the rocks , status and cactus in place.

Wow, they are beautiful even with they’re full thorns. I remember my high school classmate who loves cactus. I saw his garden full of cactus and he gave one small one in an ice cream cup. It was so cute!

Hello visiting from the UBC. Love the pictures of the cactus. I don’t know why, but ever since I was little i would ALWAYS get a cactus needle in me if I was near one! Ok. Ok. OK…so I WOULD touch them, but really…who doesn’t, LOL! they are amazingly beautiful!
I don’t quite understand the linky thingy, I guess i need to read more! 🙂 I look forward to visiting again!
Great pictures, thank you!

I am always fascinated at the many and varied shapes of cacti. It’s not something I see much of in our area so thanks for sharing.
January 9, 2013 @ 11:13 am
Hmmm…I’ve never been to a cactus garden. Looking at your pictures I can see it worth the visit.

Great photos. I love cacti and would kill to be able to put some around the house, but am certain that will be a mistake with two curious little boys!

January 9, 2013 @ 12:01 pm
Beautiful gardens, and how cool to see so many different cactus plants! I’m also fascinated by them, as we don’t have them where I live!
January 9, 2013 @ 12:38 pm
There’s a botanical garden in the University I attended and there were cacti in all shapes and sizes. 🙂
January 9, 2013 @ 1:23 pm

Love the pictures! Happy WW!
January 9, 2013 @ 2:15 pm
These are beautiful and no, I haven’t been to a cactus garden. It must be awesome to witness various cactus and to learn interesting facts about them too. Thanks for taking us to that place 🙂

They are beautiful. I have never been to a Cactus Garden, but I am willing to go now if I ever have the opportunity. I wouldn’t have expected them to be so beautiful.
Thank you for hosting.

The last close up shot captures the beauty of various cacti. I just love those round ones, very cute balls but prickly as any cactus would be. 🙂

I am fascinated with cacti! Somebody told me they ward off bad luck. Is it true?
January 10, 2013 @ 12:39 pm
