....Well I doubt last week's snow (yes, I know, what a climate!!!:evil:) helped anything, but we're back up to blazing highs in the mid 60s and we have some cacti that are pleased!

Last week:

Happy little barrel cactus this week!

Happy gardening everyone!

Duncan,
great photos.
I'm jealous of all the cacti flowers lately. Our only cactus is my sons, and it has never bloomed. --Erik

That must've been a shock Duncan.
Unseasonably cold here too.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Those pics will create cactus-growers for sure! Nice

Hi Guys!

Barb, it was a shock to see one flowering-it's been pretty bad for us with the exception of a hot week in mid-May.

Erik, I don't get it. In the last three weeks that thing has seen snow, numerous freezes, lots of rain and about a week of highs around 80. Maybe it likes the wild variety offered in this climate!?

Jim, super cool pics!

Take care all!

Duncan
