MN Outdoor Cacti 2011
Well my outdoor plants are all under snow right now. But they did melt off for a couple days and I got some pictures. If I didn't know better I would think they were all done for.
All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti

Daiv,
haha they still look like they "could" be dead, but I know otherwise. I watched my O. humifusa this year and it made an interesting transformation almost over night. They actually plumped up and put on buds on one of the coldest days we have had in the past couple of weeks, which I thought kinda funny
What is that spinier Opuntia in the first picture? Is it also O. humifusa or is it polycantha or something?

Time for an update!
These Pediocactus have been much better illustrated in the past. Here are two pictures just to show that they are there and still doing their thing this year:
Now here are the Devils Tower Escobaria and they are looking as good as ever. I'm so happy with these. Look at the 4th picture at the very start of this thread and you'll see what they looked like only a little while ago.
Group shot:
A couple close-ups
