That's the beauty about cacti. They thrive on neglect.

This suits me. Plus, I heard that with a certain skill, someone can make interesting drinks from cacti.

Apparently so. I have yet to develop that skill.

Developing this skill is a natural reaction of the body to the growing greed of sellers.

Speaking of, I'd like to try some prickly pear cactus fruit. I've seen them at the store, so it's not really a huge undertaking to get my hands on one.

BUT

Very surprisingly, prickly pear actually naturally grows wild in a few microclimates near me. I've promised myself to spend more time outdoors this summer, maybe that'll be my goal. Find and eat a wild prickly pear fruit.

Lichee i think it is called, i usually drink lichee juice and eat lichee in chinese restaurants, i think it is a chinese fruit

Litchi is very common fruit in India as well . In fact India has been 2nd largest producer of Litchi in world . The city I live had rather earned the title 'orchard of Litchis' .Too bad it comes for just a couple of months though .
