Re: Anyone else zone 3?
I was being literal many non native plants are dead around here because of the recent drop of temperature.

Re: Anyone else zone 3?
These would be the most reliable:
Echinocereus varidiflorus
Escobaria missouriensis
Escobaria vivipara
Pediocatus simpsonii
With some protection these should survive:
Echinocereus fendleri
Echinocereus mohavensis
Echinocereus xlloydii
Escobaria sneedii
Maihueniopsis darwinii
Echinocereus varidiflorus
Escobaria missouriensis
Escobaria vivipara
Pediocatus simpsonii

Echinocereus fendleri

Re: Some Gymnocalycium covered with salts coating?
Taste it, many cacti secrete a sugary substance out of their areoles. How do you know it's salt?
