Cactus Rescue – Epilog

Last Lobe in Bloom

The last lobe of the hedgehog cactus we rescued opened it’s single flower today. That gives us confidence that all lobes still in pots will do OK until we can plant them in Damsel’s rock and cactus garden.

We may have mentioned before that we have a couple more wild hedgehogs in the upper lot. Well, both of those are now in bloom and, judging from the flower colors, they are each a different cactus variety.

Upper Cactus Lower Cactus

We have already brought one hedgehog down from the back lot, so, in Damsel’s thinking, we should only bring a couple of lobes from the upper and lower back lot hedgehogs for the rock and cactus garden, leaving the rest to remain up in the natural desert part of the property.
