Sorry you are having problems; it's probably a computer issue rather than a picture issue...

I see they are accursed with that edible form of cactus.

Well, don't go to the Principality with a view to eating the exotic cacti, else they are liable to deport you...

I used to have that type of cactus here. they are common in florida. the flowers are what you eat. they are easy to grow. break a leaf off and bury it or lay it in the ground. even if its cut in half it will live and grow.

Well, there's a huge variety of worldwide plants in Monaco's Exotic Garden, anyway.

I should try to find another picture of it.

uhm. I could simply go there to visit. I have family near there. I would just pay for the flight and stay in that area and spend time with him and climb the mountains there with him.

The Exotic Garden, Monaco, with the rock known as the Tête du Chien, just over the border in France, in the background. You can see how the Alps come really steeply down to the Mediterranean, at Monaco. This is one reason why in history the Principality managed to stay independent for so long because by land it was so inaccessible.
