non-prickly cacti babies

April 2012- This thornless cactus is in a planter on the porch.  Casey got it on one of his travels somewhere- just picked a petal from a larger cactus plant, stuck it in the dirt and there you have it.  The easiest plant to transplant!  It didn't bud at all last year- transplant shock? drought?  Not sure.  But this spring these cute little sprouts appeared.  And each one of them will develop into a new petal.  Can't wait for a full plant with many thornless petals to add to the landscape.
