Amazing. Hardy cacti. Wonder if you can get them over here?

Yes, completely flat - limp. Hard to believe that it can come back to life with a little warmth and sunshine !

Free from Linda Henry 1999. It spread quickly in the cactus bed and the blooms are gorgeous ! Bumble bees love them as shown in the pic. Don't weed or attempt to handle these unless you have leather gloves.

These are wonderful and it is amazing how they perk up in the spring. We have some just outside the main door at work. Right now it looks almost dead.
