Seasonal Record

2026 a Giant Prickly Pear cactus lived on the south east corner fo the property when we moved in. I had a goal to eliminate all cactus after getting poked. i spared one for my husband. After several years of yellow flowers, I decided to propogate it. I now have a full Cacti Corner.
