Second spring in our home in MT, zone 4b. Can't wait to see what comes back. Lots to learn but loving the folks at GT!

@rennezoe I bought my cactus just to take the fake flower off and see how it went, so far so good, no new growth but it's been over a month and it's still looks the same.

I thought it was tied on but they used glue, and lots of it! Was hoping it'd grow out of the flower on its own. Sounds like maybe not anytime soon. @tay.nic

@rennezoe oh I know! Ridiculous amounts of glue. Some of its little spiny things came off while I was going at the glue. But heat up a little needle and that's the best way to pick it off.

@shnissstix this is mine. I was able to get the flower off with minimal damage. This is as bad as the spray painted succulents. Pretty amazing plants... Do they really need our help?!
