All of these photos were taken by me on Monday during my visit to the Botanical Gardens. I planned on this just being a Wordless Wednesday post with photos until I visited the Gardens website and found that due to budget cuts etc... the gardens will fall to demise unless they begin charging an entrance fee. There have been mumblings and rumors about this over the past year with a lively debate. Now you all know that I am there on a regular basis. If it has to permanently close I WILL NOT be a happy camper. The gardens have always been free unlike all the other venues in that area to include the DeYoung Museum, The Academy of Sciences of which you almost have to be a millionaire to afford their entrance fees, The Japanese Tea Garden and the Conservatory of Flowers. My position is that the Botanical Gardens should begin implementing fees. Why not? Everyone else charges fees to maintain their venues. If you buy a membership to the gardens which is as low as $60.00 per year, round...

2)I don't really know that so my answer will be based on my imagination.. Maybe the spider feel safe with cactus?

Spider webs - because they can...no one is going to bother spiders on a cactus!!
The squirrel is probably thinking about his next meal, and the web on that cactus is trying to protect the flower that's about to come out..
Spiders are predators, and since different insects are drawn to differnt plants, then weaving its web across a plant is a perfect spot for a spider to set up for dinner! =D
2nd q: no idea at all. :)
This answer might not be intelligent, since this is the first time the thought ever came to mind...LOL but I think the spiders like the succulent from the cactus plants.
2. Spiders weave their webs all over our plants and not just the cactus. But because of dengue, I don't sweep most of them away. They are really such great architects!
I think the squirrel is trying to find his nuts LOL
I'm a new follower!
2. I imagine cacti get insects the Mr. Spider likes. :-)
Spiders aren't picky or prickly when it comes to where they weave their webs.
Funny post! I enjoyed reading everyone's answers!
I don't see many cacti around here, but I'd imagine that they are just great places for spiders to live.
with regards to the little guy... i guess he was thinking where he could get nuts. hahaha
The cactus? I dunno. Spiders do what spiders will, usually with an eye towards dinner.
The colors of that cactus are beautiful but I had no idea why there is web on it!
2-Cause they can........
