Remember pictures of the cacti I planted in December or January? This is the fire stick or pencil cactus in the front of our winter home. Can you see the new sprouts? I took the pictures this morning just before we left. We were excited to see the new growth as that means the plant survived in spite of our care or lack of care & desert gardening skill. The new growth should be a bright orange when we return.
See the babies on the "ears"?
The curly prickly pear (don't know its "real name") also survived the winter. Based on all the babies that appeared this spring, the plant will really have grown when we get back in the winter, if the javelins leave it alone! I hear they like the cactus in the resort. Without the resident's potatoes, they nibble on the landscaping. Hope not mine!
