Following the success of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, Groot became a popular character for fan artists, artisans, and the like to adapt.

You might remember this gorgeous swingset from late 2014.

Well, four years and a sequel later, it looks like Mother Nature has got in on the fun.

About a week ago, a local FOX affiliate posted the following photograph to their news show's Facebook page, saying that one of their viewers had spotted a cactus that resembled Groot.

...they're not wrong.

Groot, of course, is a bit smaller and slimmer than that these days. After having given his life at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy, a fragment of Groot was used to plant and re-grow him.

Black Panther is now playing in theaters. Other upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe films include Ant-Man and The Wasp on July 6th, Captain Marvel on March 8, 2019, and the fourth Avengers on May 3, 2019. The sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming hits on July 5, 2019, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 lands in 2020.
