Rotten Luck

I knew those 2 free agave cactuses from Craigslist where too good to be true! See if you can figure it out:

 Rot.

 Shriveled up rot.

 Poor cactus!

 But wait! There's life under those dead branches!

 2 pups! Yay!

 But wait! there's more! Strong alive cactus, rotted hole, and what's that behind it? What???!! Another dead cactus???

 Yup. It's caving under it's own rotten weight.

 It's supposed to look like this one: Green.

 Whew! I'm done for the day! My hands have a tiny bit of sap and a couple scratches. (That's exagerating...)

Have a happy day!
Trisha.
