I have a small collection of cactus?succlent collection of my own. I have a bunch of cactus that is about the size or little larger than the size of a pencil but it is prostrate type. has been blooming in the past week, bright red about 1 1/2in in diameter. came from north New Mexico in a pasture. grows really easy if kept outside.

That may very well be the type I was picturing. Too many folks have the type Iwas referring to for it to be poisonous. That Google article will definitely get your attention though. Wow! Guy

Well .. I have a gorgeous one in a pot that's about 4 ft tall that a friend of mine from Baffin gave me when it was a baby .. had no clue it was poisonous. I've never trimmed it or gotten the "sap" on my hands. I'm keepin' it because it's the most forgiving plant I've ever owned.

And btw .. I have a bamboo made into a "love braid" that my daughter gave me for Valentine's about 5 years ago. I've repotted it three times and now it's about 4 ft tall. Of course, next time I have to repot it with rocks and all .. it will take a crane.
