Now that I don't live in the southwest, I miss cactuses. I currently have a prickly pear that is not coping with the high humidity. Even though it's planted in sandy soil, I think it's rotting out from the bottom. But I did have blooms last month. Maybe I could keep a pincushion happy, and their halo of flowers is so cute.

On the otherhand, for the first time ever, I can grow African violets and ferns with no special care whatsoever.
