Nice reichenbachii. I wish it was in the 80s around here.

Gotta love the blooming garden thing... Beautiful!
It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.

That is either a small pad Opuntia or an Opuntia fragilis. Either Davi or John gave it to me. I have about 8 differnt small pad Opuntias and a couple of larger Opuntias. I know nada about Opuntias. I used to have about 100 but gave them to the Cactus-Lady of Sparks.
I have a strange free-growing seedling coming up in my yard. It looks like a cross between Opuntia and
a Cylindropuntia. Will have to wait a few months to see what it is.

That Echinocereus is off the charts!
