I was given a few little pieces of cactus in 1999 and it spread to quickly fill the bed. THe blooms are gorgeous and the bumble bees love them as shown in the pic. There's pollen splashed everywhere. In winter these wilt down to the ground and lay dormant until spring when they unbeliebably come to life.
