Some of mine
Believe it or not it's possible to cultivate hardy cacti outdoor in Germany. With some rules and rain protection during the winter it's usually easy to do.
Enjoy it.

Opuntia hystricina "Muenchen"
Echinocereus coccineus
Opuntia fragilis "Typ 111"
Echinocereus caespitosus var. minor

Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money.

indeed, they all look very good! what do you do to shelter them if needed? and where in germany do you live? I would guess conditions could be quite the same as here.

Beautiful Garden! I'm Jealous!
Andy_Ct. You can have a garden just as nice and without protection in winters. I lived in Orange County, NY many years ago and had a great cold hardy garden. As long as there is good drainage (raised beds help), your plants should be fine! There's Plenty of cold hardy cactus gardeners in Connecticut.
If you want a good Cold Hardy Cactus Mailing list/Group, I can send you a link... Some really great people with Lots of Super Advice! They're the ones that helped me when I first discovered there were more cold hardy plants than just O. humifusa.
