Seeing as you brought up the subject of cactuses....just thought I would point out a few my wife has growing in front of our house. Prickly Pears, I believe.
She has had these growing here for the past 30 years, and they are doing quite well.
We found them along the steep south facing banks of the nearby Peace River Valley.
Oh...by the way we are located north of Peace River, Alberta....north of the 57th parallel.... not real cactus country.
Apparently we have the perfect soil along the banks, and with long days in the steep facing sun, they do quite well there.

That’s okay, I was surprised to find prickly pear in my father in law’s pasture in S. Dakota (Black Hills). Rather stunted, but thriving.

Your wife must have found a small variety that I have never seen before. The prickly pears I know grow around 1.5m - 3m high. Some of the leaves are large enough to hide behind.
