Qurator's Photo Friday #92 | Photography Competition
Such is rare that I should find this cactus plant while dining in a restaurant with my hubby. Most cactus that I know of is green in color but this specific gene has got green and an odd looking yellowish color to only one specific part of the plant.
Taking a closer look, I wasn't sure if it was due to mutation or due to extreme exposure of sunray. However, in HCMC, it is very rare to get extreme sunray. So, if there is anyone out there who can share their insights to such strange possibilities, I would sure love to hear it !

Its variegation. A mutation in plants that causes parts of the leaves and stems not to have chlorophyll, which is what gives them their green colour. It's very popular so plants like this are often specially propagated although such plants are rarely found in nature
Wow !!
Now this is something new that I learn today. Thanks so much.
Why do people mutate plants when it's all born from Mother Nature ?
