* Audrey II *

Anybody remember the movie, "Little Shop of Horrors"? Well here's a picture of a cactus plant that must have inspired them in some way.

When I arrived in Cabo San Lucas I met a truly amazing person. Ed Ives invited me into his house and let me stay for a few days. He introduced me to Audrey II and stated that it was about to bloom for its only time. He was right, that night it bloomed out and the next day it was closed and didn't bloom again.
