Cactii are so cool... Too cold for them to grow here. Sad

Thank you so much, E.J!

(And that's a mighty fine camera you got there too by the way.)

those are lovely. We have frosts so no cacti survive here. I like best the tall spike with white flowers. What is it?

We don't normally have castus growing here either (in north georgia). this was on the south facing slope of a mountain, so I guess it stays wrm enough. I have no Idea what the white flower is, I'll show the picture around. It's tall - almost 5 feet - and the flowers are almost the size of tennis balls.

Beautiful pictures. That tall white flower is a yucca. It is related to the lilly and is quite plentiful in the California dessert where I used to live. Be very careful of the spikes on the end of the spiney leaves. They contain a poison which is quite painful and causes your joints to swell.

The cold weather has little to do with many types of cacus growing in certain regions. Most can survive cold, frost, and snow as it can get very cold in the Mojave and Sonora desserts here in the US. What they don't like is too much rain. Cacti prefer dry arid climates.
