Them cacti are looking happy in Idaho! Are you feeding them potatoes or something?

So nice! The huge patch of pink-flowering poly's is probably visible from space when it blooms!

The secound photo is coryphantha vivipara. I have three of them that have formed big clumps.
The first opuntia pic is polyacantha, and the other with 3 cactus patches are all o. basilaris.

I thought they had to be E. vivpara they are very nice clusters! Do you know the origin of the clone. I like look of it! Spiny, low and clustering. I must say it is one of the nicest I've seen!

Very nice garden, I like it all, but I particularly like your trio of rusted metal planters. Is that agave in them, or something else?

Great garden!

I really like the escobaria clumps.

They are E. vivipara, I have just always called them coryphantha because of an older book.

The big clusters are 14in wide and 11in tall. I bought them from a nursery, but later found out LaMar grew them. I think he said the seed came from a Vegas mountain plant but some must of hybrid with others from his yard. The seed starts easy, so if you want I could send some if they produce any from the big plants.
