I do! They come up naturally in the yard. Many of the little cob cactus
and a similar one have made it into the edge of the flower beds, including
the iris beds and do quite well. Also have moved a couple of Devil's
Pincushion cactus to the edge of the iris beds. Beautiful blooms, on all
but they don't last long. Yesterday the yard had quite a few iridescent
pink blooms scattered over it from one of the little cactus barrels.
However,
the most persistant is prickly pear and that gets composted. I gather one
to two buckets a year of these while they are still little fellows. These
have
pretty blooms as well, but are too unmanageable for me to fool with.
