Cactus

Cacti aficionado, with over 4,000 cacti in 1,800 species, to open botanical garden in Mures

A passionate grower of cacti of Mures County, Cristian Sergiu Gavriloaie, who owns, in Ideciu de Jos, a greenhouse with over 4,000 cacti from 1,800 different species, intends, at some point, to open a botanical garden that could be freely visited and where correctly acclimatized cacti could be acquired.

Ficus Indica

Barbed bulbs of taste, they are?  Spiny, spiky, threatening outside; succulent honey-like flesh inside? One of the most underestimated late summer Mediterranean fruits must surely be the cactus fruit. The ripened fruits are sold in street carts in southern towns like Adana, Antalya, Mersin, Tarsus and others.
