Anyone know anything about the hardy cactus that grows in IL, zone 5?
I have some a friend gave me a couple of years ago. I have them in a cement donkey cart LOL.
But they are doing really good!
I have never heard of any hardy ones until I got these. I know they bloom yellow cause my friend a couple of blocks from me said hers bloomed last year.
Anyone got any info on them?

Prickly Pear! The bloom reminds me of a Japanese paeonie. Beautiful yellow with a red center. The flower last for a very short time. I haven't had any for a few years now.
Opuntia robusta....I THINK!
If you find some, break a "leaf" off, let it dry out for a fw days and stick it in well drained soil.
