Interesting plant, nice expansion on good sources. The image is licensed, great and attractive, showing what is special about the cactus: flowers and fruit together. Why the hook is using "look down" I don't know but if that's what you want to say I go along. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:49, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
