Yes, that is the type I am looking for. But, unfortunately, I do not have anything that you listed. I have seeds from yellow jasmine that is growing all over my place. I don't know the exact name of it. As far as cactus goes, I have prickly pear seeds & cuttings of what might be prickly pear. I noticed that you love cacti, too. I'm trying to expand my collection of them, but I am very limited to where I live & who I can trade with :P

Stush2049, yes, it's similar to mine. Yours is Opuntia Subulata as written on the picture. I had before but it's gone due to cold winter. O. Subulata has succulent like stems (softer and watery) while O. Imbricata has harder stems. The old stems can be used as cane, for that reason, O.Imbricata also called as Cane Cholla.

I'll second that....I've had mine outdoors for the past 2 years and mine bloomed like CRAZY this year.I bet it produced over 50 flowers and it's only 8"x10".Part shade seems to suit it,but definitely shelter it in the winter in your zone.Bring it indoors to a bright window.Start fertilizing with Osmocote in August for best results.It's a time release fertilizer that activates when you water.Since they don't need water in the winter,by applying it at that time you'll make certain it's gotten to the roots and it should store that energy for the next years bloom period.

Happy Halloween everyone! Well, I just did this real quick. You are supposed to use starch, but the peanuts held the cheese cloth in place. Didn't want to cut it yet since I'm going to cook it for pie. This was an easy compromise. When it was inside waiting to be "wrapped", my DH was convinced that those bumps were bugs :-)
