This is the Houston area, we use crinums to hold the sand and water, I will send you some of the Bosanquets this winter if you send me a d-mail with address, -and I can dig these up- the older ones have bulbs the size of soccer balls and are very deep. Humidity here in the summer is normally 70% to 96% til winter. the 2 rose colors are the same as the one above, the white with pink stripe is another variety. Lots of trees- we remove pines to keep them from falling on the house during storms since oak and pines fall over when the rain soaks the earth and it turns to quicksand.
Your cacti are very valuable assets for your area- and they dont upset the natural balance by being out of their areas. Our prickly pear towers get so large that occasionally we take them to the ground and back they come with circles of blooms in the spring. Fairy circles of prickly pear instead of mushrooms, chuckle.
