[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[Dick]

Phyllis, try taking a pad or a picture of this cactus into your favorite 
nursery or post it on the internet. Some one will know but it would be only 
a wild guess for me. You might also find a copy in a nursery but most 
nursery people in this valley are very knowledgeable about desert species.
