| Hey Dave, That is great and kind of funny. I went out yesterday to take some pics of my 2 year old Cylindropuntia imbricata in 1 gallon pots under the snow. Here is a link to my pics. Yours is truly a great picture. Dan in NE |

| As usual, a very well executed photo Dave! I wonder if Cylindropuntia versicolor would fare the same? Amy |

| It's been very cold here, currently -20F. It's doubtful that Cylindropuntia versicolor would survive in these conditions. It's native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona and Mexico. Best regards, |

| Dave, Boy, I thought it was cold here! We're expecting a few inches of the white stuff tonight, brrr! Thanks for the tip on C. versicolor. I figured as much. Some of them are quite tough! Amy |
