Feeling a little envious of those magnificent cactus flowers you're seeing around? Norm Schilling tells us how to get them in this edition of Desert Bloom. Norm is the owner of Schilling horticulture and one more thing: Don’t ever take a cactus from our desert parks or wilderness or even think about breaking off a piece of it. Removing native plants is highly regulated.
