It was a nice easy solve, Xaiven. Why did you caption it, "cation?"

Perhaps he meant 'caution'.

I'll bet you're right, Zane! I got stuck on (lol no pun intended) "vacation" and "stay-cation," and couldn't see anything else.

I was seeing the word as cat-ion, which I believe is a chemistry term. (Correct me kindly if I am wrong. I don't feel like googling it.)

Caution indeed! No one is more cautious around a cactus than someone who has been more curious than cautious in the past. Teddy bear cholla are the worst. But there's nothing prettier than a blooming cactus. Well, maybe there are prettier things, but I do love a desert in bloom.

I like blooming cactus's too!!

Yeah, cacti are cool. They come in such awesome varieties.

yeah, and I like your user name.
:) check out my other puzzles abort,madness,...,rain, too much rain and abstract. There are two of them! DO NOT DO 31714.

I thought that, too, Aurelian. Anions and cations, like anodes and cathodes. :)

Thanks, @ #8. I chose this user name because it is my pen name. I'm going to publish eventually. The first part, Aurelian, means golden, and the second part combines with it to imply the golden color of the leaf in autumn. They should be turning soon! 😍

A chemistry lesson: anions = negatively charged particles, usually by absorbing electrons (which are negative)
cations = positive ions that have usually lost electrons. These electrons, loosely held, help conduct electricity.
