My own pictures of this plant, taken in the yard.

• Enlarge A rooted plant laid on the whitewashed measuring board with tapes along the top and left edges, its roots and a clod of soil left on at the bottom and artificial sunflowers down the frame.
• Enlarge A short fat green cutting, soil still hanging off its base, held up in a work glove, and behind it on the lawn a black metal Bigfoot cutout staked in the grass against a redwood fence in hard midday sun.
• Enlarge A rooted cactus laid on pale weathered boards and shot from straight above, its slender blue-green ribbed stem carrying long spines that are pale at the small white areoles and dark brown out to the tips, with a tan corky base and a spread of dry roots and soil clods at the… — A tape measure runs down the left side and a second lies across the top; the darker wood strip along the right edge carries fabric sunflowers and pale wooden pegs.

• Enlarge A tall cutting stood upright against a redwood fence and held steady in one gloved hand, its base sunk in freshly turned dirt at the edge of a dry lawn with a name written up the skin in black marker just above the soil.
