Wonderful ! I ordered Gila River and other plants a couple of days ago, I should receive delivery in the next few days. How old is your plant and how much sun take? Thank you.

Red, I bought some seeds of Opuntia sp. Hoconoiste (I am hoping this turns out nicely). I also currently already have a prickly pear growing in a container with relatively few spines (seems like a Nopales variety). I am currently searching for good varieties of prickly pear geared toward fruit quality and production. I thought about collecting the other fruiting cactus, however the small fruit size and or poor fruit quality turn me off. I am contempt with dragon fruit and prickly pear however :), with occasional cactus apple. I am really looking forward to expanding my fruit garden to producing tasty exotic tropical fruits to use in juice fusions. Prickly Pear, Passion Fruit, Dragon Fruit, etc. added into juice mixes sounds very tasty and appealing.

I love that place. I went to Phoenix about five years ago in September thinking it would be cool enought to herp during the day. I was wrong. Every day was in the high 90s low 100s. I managed to find a tiger rattlesnake on the last night with only an hour of herping left. That was the only snake of the trip but was well worth it. I need to get back one day during the monsoons.

My son has the same car bed and I am planning to redo his room next year in the same style. I am trying to find a real used diamond plate tool box to use as a dresser. I am also in the process of researching rubber flooring. I would prefer a solid (or rolls that the seam can be fused) rather then the puzzle pieces with a texture. I hate his rugs because he is unable to build (blocks, legos, trains, etc.) or use his remote control cars. It would also add some sound proofing (never a bad thing!). I *believe* they sell a 1/2" thick mat for horse stalls that are in 8' wide rolls, it's affordable but I have to see it. Your rooms look great! My son's room is a Nickolodeon color "Binky Blue" alittle darker then "tiffany" blue. I have to admit that the blue and silver makes me happy....
