If I had a dollar for every plant I've stuck in a too small space, I'd be a wealthy woman now. I'm stubborn, I guess. (I guess???)
Sandi, which Opuntia is that? Fabulous. I'm planting cold-hardy Opuntia here and hope to have a "spread" like that one day. Not all over the place, just one sizable Opuntia garden. I'm planting Opuntia humifusa, the Eastern Opuntia.
