Plainville is a tiny town in west central Connecticut, Lots of retail in the area. Just a short hike off a busy road is a lookout that houses the cactus. The hills in this area seem to be largely trap rock. This is not a natural lookout but man made . Its always possible somebody could have tossed a pad here. If its a wild patch then I expect there to be more patches here and there along the whole ridge that runs for many miles. Flowering was all done here, mine at home still have a few flowers left.
A glance at the climate for this local area: 50-53 inches (127-135 cm) of yearly rainfall on average. No dry season whatsoever, though any given month can be mostly dry or crazy wet.
