Cactus Garden & Donkey Patch

About 30 years ago the wife and I got two small cactus plants at a garage sale. Been planting them outside every summer and takeing them in the basement every winter. It get's to be a bigger job every year. No the wife won't let me bring the donkey in. I don't even know what kind of cactus they are.

Thats a pretty nice cactus garden we thought about doing the same thing where our septic tank is bacause nothing grows there during the summer months.. Yours look like barrel cactus...Do they bloom different colors or just white?

Just white and only last about 24 hours but they rebloom all summer into fall. They have an aroma that must come from heaven. They can really prick you so I pull weeds around them with a long needle nose pliers.
