I have seen what I think is a mammilaria growing in southern MN, but  
that was before I could identify species... They are native to every  
state except Maine, NH, and VT. They grow from Canada to Patagonia,  
but unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with those varieties. If you need  
O. humifusa, I could send you a pad - it is easy to root.
