I've lived in west Texas.  Although the desert has its own beauty you tend to 
get very excited by anything green or anything resembling a plant not a 
cactus.  I was given some seeds by a coworker and let my kids plant them in 
the front yard.  They grew like a house afire.  Turned out they were castor 
bean plants, highly poisonous and illegal to grow where we lived!  But they 
sure were pretty.
