Well, how do you like this? My Mom had taken a few pads off of a thornless opuntia (prickly pear cactus) a few months ago, and had thrown them into an old shoebox and tossed them to the side when she got home (planning to plant them)...kinda into the edge of her garden near the front door. Forgetting about them, she sudenly came to the realization that not only had they had put out roots, but they were thriving and putting on new pads, and just in general, looking quite amazing! There is no way to kill these things, it seems...they will grown right in a cardboard box!!! WOWZERS!!!
Happy Cactus Monday everyone!!!

Julie, I left you a little surprise over on my blog. I didn't know your email address so this is the only way I could figure out how to tell you. Love your blog. Have a great Memorial Day.

Happy Memorial Day
Cactus will grow roots anywhere, won't they? This made me laugh just because I've been there!
I didn't realize there was a thornless variety. Apparently blogger thinks 'thornless' isn't a word. So cactus Monday eh? I think I need some hardy cacti.
Yep... these prickly pear will root just about anywhere... although it seems if you WANT them to grow somewhere, they argue about it...
Wow indeed!!!
What a fun post and this shows endeavor
