Strange that I should return to this blog on Dec. 25, then the very next day notice a cactus growing on a wall in Brookline, Mass. Here it is. I see cactus growing in the Boston area every now and then, but it's fun to spot one in the snow. This looks a lot like one Marjorie gave me as a Christmas gift. She said that it can survive in the cold but can't tolerate an ice storm, so I'd best keep it in a pot and bring it inside when the weather gets too nasty.
