It’s always great to start a new year with a big bang (in the positive sense of the word, of course). Our stock market sure started out that way but unfortunately has fizzled out and may be on a downward trajectory for the moment.

As a grower and collector of cacti, my two favorite times of the year are springtime (April to May) and fall (late August to early November). These periods see the most abundant production of flowers from a whole slew of cactus genera and species.

What better way than to begin the year with a feature on my favorite cactus group – the ariocarpus or "Living Rocks." This genus is one of the most highly prized of all cacti today for several reasons. First, their unique appearance. Ariocarpus aren’t your typical-looking cactus plants. For one, none of them have spines. And their shapes and forms are also very different from the rest of the cactus kingdom.
