Cactus anyone?

Recommended Posts

Howdy,

I am in the Northern Illinois area.

I was given some cactus plant starters.

 

After a few years a brilliant yellow flower bloomed.

The next year a couple more bloomed.

This year 24 fire yellow roses bloomed.

 

If you are in this area and have a spot where you can plant cactus I would be

happy to share starts and getting started instructions.

These cactus have to have about a half a day of full sun.

They do not need to be taken in or covered winter.

And yes the thorns are painful sharp. Handle with care.

Best

CR

Where can I get cacti (is that the proper plural?)

 

Oh, wait.  This is Arizona.  They'r everywhere.

 

I wanted a Scottish thistle, but was told they are considered a weed, and illegal here.

They are an invasive species and quickly take over rangeland. I used to have a horse that was raised on the Navajo Rez that loved to eat thistles. He would pull his lips back and start chomping. I may have some thistles on our place. When I remember, I will take photos and see if that's what you're looking for.
