Found these while riding Jake. We were in the middle of where someone had dumped a truckload of broken glass, and we were carefully negotiating our way out of it when these beauties showed up. Drove back to as close as I could get and grabbed a few and potted them. pic is 1 yr after transplant.
Were. cactus wrens ate every bit of them after 2 years of growth. I was bummed and never found another group to hijack. Someone once gave me the name while on Post, but I forgot to write it down or where I put it if I did.
Most beautiful cactus I've ever seen in bloom. Benign little things when not
Oh, that's too bad! Have you checked with Google search (of the picture)? At least that might be a place to start (for the name) in case any of the local nurseries could help replace it.
If you found it it Arizona, I'm sure ASU has it cataloged!
Just ordered a pair. cold hardy - makes sense because it does get down to single digits at times. And regularly, nights in the winter run in the 20's. [Fahrenheit]
No cactus wren here and rarely any sub freezing temps. I'll pot them and post pics when they bloom.
I brought the cactus wren close by putting out a bird feeder, even though I know better. Audobon says only clean water, no seed or food.
