Re: opuntia replacement

I got some Escobaria and Echinocereus for the Rockgarden last year. I hope they survived this difficult winter. Wow, this site has a wealth of cold hardy cactus. Who knew there were so many? They seem reasonable for cuttings. I will likely give them a try if I can't find any more advanced plants. Thanks Jim.

Can anyone suggest a hardy cactus for zone 5 other than Opuntia humifusa (syn. O. compressa) and Opuntia ficus-indica? One of the gardens put in their request late and won't get the plant because another garden requested it before the deadline. I told them I'd search for something similar.
