Anyone growing any of the four Cacti native to Canada? Escobaria vivipara, Opuntia fragilis, O. polyacantha and O. humifusa.
I would someday like to grow all four, I’m growing one so far Opuntia fragilis. I collected it in the west side of Kelowna in BC a few years back on a hike when the dogs blindly stepped into a nest of it. pieces of it were stuck to their legs and paws and then their noses and my fingers as we tried to remove them from their paws. So I ended up with a piece that was stuck in one of the dogs tails. It’s quick growing for a cactus and really good at self propagating onto anything that brushes past!
If anyone has any of the other native species for sale I’m interested. Thanks
