of the pyramids!

interesting and abstract

You must mean strange and bizarre.

Eerie and mysterious?

does that mean y'all don't like my camel?

Profound and esoteric?

And no, it's a very nice camel... but I'm afraid I must wish you and your camel (named Calvin) good night, because I'm off to bed!

his name is Clyde lol

Clyde is awesome, but he looks so thirsty. :-)

Very well... can the cactus be Calvin then? Clyde the Camel and Calvin the Cactus? Come on, that's way cool! :D

Are there cacti in Egypt?

guess your bed rest worked, Kylie
calvin is the cactus
Jan, i planted the cactus myself (only one)

"Right turn, Clyde!"

And, no, there are technically no cacti in egypt. There are succulents from a different order, Euphorbia. F'rinstance, http://www.cactuscenter.com/r_4.html .

But there are certainly no saguaro. Sorry, Calvin.

Well, that link died, but it could have been any of the euphorbia on this page:

HOWEVER, there seems to be one branching euphorbia that can look a bit like a saguaro in silhouette: Euphorbia Ingens (the "candelabra tree").

At least it can when it is young. Here's a young one:

And here's a not-so-young one:

"Euphorbia" sounds like one is giddy from a headcold.

Hilarious Kristen and you nailed it!
