I am interested in trading Opunita pads of varieties that are native in my region for varieties native in your region. My native species are O. basilaris, santa rita, chlorotica, englemannii, englemanni v. linguiformis, macrocentra, and aciculata. I am at 2300 feet elevation (Sonoran desert), where temperatures drop to slightly below freezing in the winter. What do you have and where are you? (Trading means we each pay necessary postage to exchange a specimum of one or, better yet, two-attached pads.

Trade Opuntia . . .
I've got some Opuntias!
I have a few opuntias that I have to keep hacking back. O. littoralis is a native here for sure. Are you interested in Chollas too? Also I've got O. microdaysis of all sorts comming out my ears! Anyone is welcome to have some pads from them.

O. littoralis
Didn't get a chance to package up some O. littoralis over labor day weekend. Will try to get some this weekend instead.
I'm not real familar with alot of cacti but I have some prickly pear growing in my rock garden if you'd like some pads from it. I live in the KC area and it's native to my area, although getting scarce it seems. Don't know the proper name of it but heres a pic- I'll let you decide. If you know please tell me the proper name for it. It has alot of almost transparent yellow blooms on it in the summer.
I also have a cholla but don't know it's proper name either. This is first year growth for it.
