Well I tried these this year and have been very disappointed in them, I
thought they would be a variety but seem to be a very mixed batch,
Suttons say "The seed used is from open pollinated cactus varieties and
there may be some variation in plant sizes."
But I had not only a mix of sizes but a mix of flower types with only
about 60% being cactus,

Suttons response was "No one else has said anything about them"
Very disappointed.

If I could have a show like that I'd be happy, but don't have enough
space!
