Botanical Family Outing (Real & Imagined)

It was my second covid jab today so I didn't want to venture too far. As per the first jab it was superbly organised by our local NHS - quick, easy and so far relatively painless. A huge and heartfelt thank you must go out to everyone involved especially those people who volunteered their time to get the vaccination programme completed. I just hate that our rotten government appear to be receiving nearly all the credit for it.
My brother came with me at the same time to get his jab, and as I was not allowed to drive for 15 minutes after my injection, we popped into a local pub for a quick drink sitting outside on a sunlit terrace. It had turned into another glorious day and this was heightened by the fact that we have now been fully vaccinated.
As I couldn't travel very far today I decided to create as exotic an image as I could think of. The succulents are real, as is one of the cacti but the rest is made up of items from a previous themed birthday present for my sister (not sure why this was the theme as my sister has never expressed any interest in cacti whatsoever!) - my particular favourites are the little cacti candles! Succulents and cacti are part of the same botanical family hence the title of today's image.
