cactus garden photos

Do any of you Zone 4 gardeners have photos you can post of your cactus gardens? I'd like some ideas for next summer.

Where do us northern gardeners buy cacti? Mail order? I would imagine the big box stores wouldn't have zone 4 hardy cacti or succulents, or do they in the spring?

Here is a list of places to start with. The first one is the Friends Sale. I don't know if you ever get to St. Paul on Mothers Day weekend, but if you do it is an amazing sale.
I have two photos of my cactus garden resized for posting now all I need to know is how to post to the garden web.
