TIM RAINS

The Cactirium Mysterium is a celebration of color, imagination, and the quiet wonder of the desert. Created in honor of my father’s 80th birthday—an avid collector and cultivator of cacti and succulents—this piece is a whimsical tribute to the world he loves.

Infused with abstract creatures, blooming forms, and cosmic mandalas, the artwork reimagines a fantastical cactus garden where nature meets surreal storytelling. Each shape, color, and pattern is rooted in joy, curiosity, and gratitude for a man whose life has been a testament to patience, growth, and resilience.

Now available as a silk-touch throw blanket, The Cactirium Mysterium brings that same spirit of warmth and wonder into your home—one vibrant bloom at a time.

Every element of The Cactirium Mysterium was thoughtfully created to celebrate both the natural world and the imaginative one. The mandalas featured in this surreal desertscape are inspired by real-life cacti and succulents, each with its own unique geometry, symmetry, and soul:

AEONIUM ARBOREUM, ALOE VERA, AGAVE APPLANATA, AGAVE KISSHO KAN, AGAVE OVATIFOLIA, CEREUS PERUVIANUS, GOLDEN BARREL, MAMMILARIA, PYGMY AGAVE, and STRING OF PEARLS.

From these spiny, sculptural wonders bloomed a new world—populated by whimsical creatures and desert spirits that might just come alive under the stars:
