I can't believe how many cactus books have the same title! A note to future authors, please do a search to make sure that nobody else has used the title you imagined, then we wouldn't have so many repetitive search results. How to Hug a Cactus and The Lonely Cactus have been used too many times. Let's make up some new titles!
