Danger: Don't Touch the Thorny Succulents

Peter Rukavina

I spotted this sign in a greenhouse of the Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Genève — the botanical gardens in Geneva:

Danger: Don't Touch the Thorny Succulents

Every time I read the sign, it seems vaguely erotic to me. Sort of like “words I should have heeded in my twenties.”
