I've never had this bloom in a pot, but I put one in the ground and look what I found today:

Cool Harold! You all are making me think I like cactus...

If anyone wants some of that cactus, I have gobs and gobs, just come and get it. It's a great cactus - no spines! And those crystal-white flowers, I think they're amazing.

You would like this one Kelly. As Judy said, no needles. I too have some available. The joints fall off if brushed, and will root or can be stuck in the ground somewhere else. I put this one in the back so it seldom gets disturbed.

Looks like I need to go visitin'!

I just noticed, if you click to enlarge the picture, there is a wicked looking cactus on the left. But it is actually one of the so called paper spine cactus whose "spines" are "paper-like" so aren't wicked at all. I have several varieties of those in the ground and hoping they might put out some blooms too some day. They grow in fragile segments too and are easy to start new plants.

Me, me, choose me, Mary!

LOL - if you go visitin' one of these fine folks McP can you pick me up a little piece of that pretty cactus?

Hah Judy, we're overdue. Of course LocaChica......let me work on the schedule. I haven't been to Judy's ohana in a while. 'Bout time to visit and set a spell. Maggie needs to meet all the B's.

Thanks McP... Mom and my 10 year old leave for Maine tonight and my youngest is in California with the other grandma, so I'll have a little more free time now!

Oh good, your froggie awaits.

Harold, I have some paper spines in pots and one is blooming with flowers very similar to the spruce cone.

Glad to see we are getting more people over to the dry side!

I have this one too. No blooms yet . Kelly how did you get so lucky? I want to send mine some where!!

Get your relatives to move to another state then send the kiddos to visit!!!
