Hi,

I have brought in about 15-20 cactus pads to give away.  This type of
cactus has big, lemon-yellow flowers in the spring.  After the flower
blooms, a green fruit about the size and shape of a kiwi fruit (only not
fuzzy) develops and over time turns purplish-red.  The fruits stay on the
plant most of the winter.

Cactus is about the easiest plant I know of to grow.  You just plant a
cactus pad a few inches deep in the ground in a sunny location, and forget
it.  I have NEVER watered or fertilized my cactus and it grows great.

If you want all or some of the cactus pads, please let me know.
