If one is lucky enough to have a cactus plant in one’s yard perhaps you have enjoyed blooms such as the ones pictured. This Argentine cactus is in Wayne and Kate Chambers’ yard and had a large number of flowers this past spring. Kate has offered to give out starter plants this fall when they do some trimming. Just give her a call at 480-883-1657 to get on the list. Remember this cactus will get bigger as it gets established so give it some room to spread out. It will not need to be on a drip system but will require some regular watering via a bucket to get started.
