Some of my cacti got frozen over the winter. There were a few that were weren't obviously dead, and I didn't give up on them...hoping they might make it.
They're mostly really ugly and scarred, but I'm going to keep them. They're survivors!
Cleistocactus strausii...it seemed like only one stem survived:
...but there's two littl'uns peeking out from the base:
Two stems of Echinocereus rayonesensis seem to be making up for lost time:
You'll have to take my word for it that this Notocactus/Parodia leninghausii really looked at death's door for a long long time. Now it looks reasonably healthy and is growing some huevos:
I was so convinced that this Copiapoa was dead, that I didn't even bother to repot it after the pot burst from freezing:
It's alive and growing!!!
Cheers,

The will to live
I hope you kept that Copiapoa in that sweet pot!!
The best time to plant a cactus is twenty years ago. The second best time is now...
