My Cactus photos

[29Palms]

Hi everyone, we are lucky enough to live in the desert so we grow all our cactus outdoors. We do get some light winter frost but winters down here are generally brief and mild, overall. We are at about 1600 feet elevation, east of 29 Palms.

Here are a couple Cholla cactus planted in the yard.

I have a Mammillaria tetrancistra from 29 Palms

Well if you ask me, growing cacti near 29 Palms is way better than trying to grow a lawn!

Then again, I also think growing cacti in Minnesota is a great idea too.

Well, it is spring here! A couple weeks ago I was checking the Opuntia scheeri pads that I stuck in the ground last August ( http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/viewtop ... 56#p203356 ) and I was pleased to see that every one of them are starting new pads. Today I got a photo of one of them and was going to upload it, but the message board says attachment quota for the board has been reached.
