Description
The Chicago Botanic Gardens has many types of cacti in its tropical room. As I walked through this area, I noticed one that looked like it had a very bad wound and the healing process only went so far, leaving behind scarring on the plant. Next to the cactus was an aloe plant reaching up toward the sun and had wrapped on of its many arms around the wounded cactus as if to say "it'll be OK. I'm here for you." Since I took this shot, I returned to the Chicago Botanic Gardens to find that the supportive "arm" of the plant had been cut off so that it would grow towards the sun. What a shame...
