Help me -- I think this is called Romantic Nights? This is in the grafting area, which is really interesting. They graft on to the cactus and the plants produce cuttings much faster. Pat showed me how one of the cacti had been exhausted and was squishy. Her husband handles the grafting and she says he has about a 90% success rate.

BTW, she told me she is using a liquid rooting hormone called "Roots" and having wonderful results with it. She demonstrated cleaning up a rather ugly plant, too, so I could see what stays and what goes. Very useful info. Can you tell I enjoyed myself? :-)
