About Bunny Cactus
The Bunny Ear Cactus, scientifically known as Opuntia microdasys, is a popular and charming cactus species that belongs to the Opuntia genus. It is native to Mexico, specifically the central and northern regions, and is also found in some parts of the southwestern United States. The plant is widely cultivated as an ornamental houseplant due to its attractive appearance and relatively easy care requirements.
Key characteristics of the Bunny Ear Cactus:
Appearance:
- The Bunny Ear Cactus is a low-growing, clump-forming succulent with flat, oval, or paddle-shaped segments that resemble bunny ears, hence its common name.
- These segments are covered in tiny, hair-like structures known as glochids, which are actually modified spines.
- The glochids give the cactus a soft and fuzzy appearance.
Color:
- The cactus pads are usually bright green, and the glochids can be white or yellow.
- Be careful when handling the plant as the glochids can cause skin irritation.
Flowers and fruit:
- In the right conditions, Bunny Ear Cacti can produce small, yellow flowers that bloom at the edges of the pads.
- After successful pollination, these flowers can develop into small, edible fruit that resembles tiny reddish-brown, spiky balls.
Growth and size:
- The Bunny Ear Cactus can reach a height of about 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) and can spread over a broader area due to its clumping habit.
Caring for the Bunny Ear Cactus:
- Sunlight: This cactus thrives in bright, indirect sunlight.
- While it can handle some direct sun, it's essential to avoid intense, scorching sunlight, as it may lead to sunburn on the plant's pads.
Temperature:
- The Bunny Ear Cactus prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate mild frost but is not suited for extended periods of cold.
Watering:
- Like most cacti, the Bunny Ear Cactus prefers dry conditions.
- Water it infrequently, letting the soil dry up in between applications.
- Overwatering can beget root spoilage and other issues.
Soil:
- Plant the Bunny Ear Cactus in well-draining soil, preferably a cactus mix or a blend of sand, perlite, and regular potting soil.
Potting:
Choose a container with drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil.
Propagation:
- Bunny Ear Cacti can be propagated through cuttings.
- Allow the cut ends to callus for a day or two before planting them by well-draining soil.
Pests and diseases:
- Watch out for common cactus pests like mealybugs and spider mites.
- Regularly inspect the plant for any signs of damage or infestations.
Overall, the Bunny Ear Cactus is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts, as it adds a unique touch to any indoor or outdoor garden with its distinctive appearance and relatively undemanding care requirements

Propagation:

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!

Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn
Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance
“More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.”
Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice!
Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin.
Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur.
Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with.
Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust.
This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!!

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.
