She really has interesting posts about her native plants.<BR/><BR/>Cheryl, isn't it amazing what is out there in blog land!? Hope you get to mow before the critters set up permanent residence.<BR/><BR/>Wendy, they really do better if you ignore them. Mine may go weeks without water and then only a little. In Feb. I water a little more because that is when they would get water in the 'wild'. Try again with one.<BR/><BR/>Amy, as I said, it really surprised me this year. It didn't do anything last year and I was beginning to think it needed re-potting. I was not looking forward to trying to do that!beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-27817879953339518352008-03-28T18:47:00.000-05:002008-03-28T18:47:00.000-05:00Very cool cactus - how exciting that it's blooming...Very cool cactus - how exciting that it's blooming again!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691765466320690473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-38416085157292108122008-03-28T15:25:00.000-05:002008-03-28T15:25:00.000-05:00I usually end up drowning my cactuses!

I feel sorry for them because they don't get the attention (and water) that my other house plants do.{sigh!} <BR/><BR/>This is a really informative post. Thanks for all the info.<BR/><BR/>Lucky you to have all those buds on your cactus to look forward to.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788733654505792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-85721135159795307432008-03-28T12:48:00.000-05:002008-03-28T12:48:00.000-05:00Hi Beckie....Like you I do a lot of blog hopping. ...Hi Beckie....Like you I do a lot of blog hopping. I had problems with a bamboo and went on to madmanbamboos blog and he was really helpful.<BR/><BR/>Please show me when your cacti flowers......I love to see them in flower, they are usually so beautiful.<BR/><BR/>I like your posts they are always different each time I visit.<BR/><BR/>We have had rain all day again. Will I ever get the tractor mower out and cut my grass. It is so long I am sure there are creatures living in it.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-24531741929737357572008-03-28T10:27:00.000-05:002008-03-28T10:27:00.000-05:00Beckie,Ah, I do have cactus envy!

My Mammillaria just blooms fuschia colored flowers, but I love the idea of white! It was the first time for mine, so it was such a nice surprise!!!

I wonder why the growers of cactus and succulents think that people don't want to know their names?? Weird.<BR/><BR/>We are sloppy wet here too.
