Your doing a great job, they look very happy.

yes lots and lots of cuttings.recently someone chopped to hell out of one of those night blooming cactuses and dropped them off in the hills as well as a bunch of agaves with roots and all.i find all sorts of cactus in the hills that people dont want anymore.

Man, wish I could get lucky and find cacti like that

. Good to see ya figured out linking so we can admire your collection. I'm envious of people that can grow cacti outside year round

you can see some of the cuttings on the ground of one of my pics.this cactus was gigantic and was hacked to peices.i was able to salvage much of what i found most i just stuck in pots but still have more work getting the rest into the ground.its the kind that bears fruit that is so very edible .a few years back i saw the garbage man eating the fruit i later tried it and it tasted awesome.almost better or much different than the prickly pear ( called TUNAS in spanish).i even picked fresh nopales tonight for my friends turtle.

another mans treasure

Looks like you have the treasure

Bluedrinks,
Are you a member of your local CSS club? I'd recommend you join. (I think the one closest is the San Gabriel club in Ontario, but you'll have to check to be sure.)

Our club, Orange County CSS, just did a member garden tour last Saturday. I liked Hanks the best. Here is a picture of Hank in his garden:
