Indiana Cactus
They don't plant cactus in the ground too much in Indiana, instead they bring them inside into their offices, where they are forced to survive under fluorescent lights. Oy. The Evansville Courier Press reprints an article from DIY:

In fact, the cactus should become the botanical mascot of American business because it reflects the daily challenges of a free-enterprise system.
A living cactus on every office desk is a great way to acknowledge the duality of our work. On one hand, we are forced to arm ourselves for competition and negotiation. On the other, we have the opportunity to use our company to better the world. Ferocious yet elegant, rugged but exquisite, this universal balance is as important in the workaday world as it is in the evolution of a cactus.
