Posted on May 17, 2022May 17, 2022 by JimDixon5/17/2022 Cactus Pete in Bloom Cactus Pete is blooming in the backyard again. The first bloom appeared Sunday and two days later there are about a dozen. Pete started as a little cutting several years back that has really come to life in recent years. Pete now occupies a 2′ x 3′ area and this year I laid a brick wall around her to keep her from taking over the back yard.
