I would think winter in Colorado would be way too cold for them.

not going to say what these are.

Those are carpet tack-strips.

Very nice displays. Where I hunt, we have some really vicious cholla, like the "teddy bear" variety. I've learned the hard way why it's called jumping cactus. The weird thing is the Cactus Wren makes some really cool looking nests in it. Even more amazing is the fact that the local desert mulies can eat the buds...... I know a guy that watched a buck eat two of them. The Fish & Wildlife people have found that up to 15% of their winter diet is of that family of cactus.
I've seen places where barrel cactus is growing out of solid rock on vertical canyon walls. Really fascinating plants. E

Very nice.
Love the cacti in Texas.

blooms open at night close in the day.

Yes, thanks for the pix....we don't see a lot of that stuff growing up here!

Thanks Alamosa and stxhunter - good to see many of the friends we enjoyed during all of those years on the desert. Some of the less cold-tolerant that quit might have been OK in SW Colorado, but a cold bowl like your area would be difficult.
