Free cactus!
The wind has blown some stems of our cactus down, so we're offering them FREE to a good home! These do well in a sunny but sheltered spot with a northern exposure. Should take just by planting, and water them well to get them started.
HUGE, beautiful flowers bloom in January, just after Christmas.
Note: These are VERY prickly--leather gloves will NOT help! If you want these, please come prepared to handle them. I move them with a set of old Healing 10 Speed handlebars, but bungee cords or old bicycle inner tubes will work as well.
