Bring home a splash of desert color with this vibrant Santa Rita Purple Prickly Pear, a stunning cactus native to Cochise County, Arizona. This striking pad is perfect for potting or propagation and thrives in full sun with minimal care.
🍃 Key Features
 Color: Pads blush rich pinky-purple in winter or under drought stress and fade to soft blue-grey in summer. Exposure to full sun deepens the color—especially when neglected or in dormancy.
 Flowers: Dark yellow blooms ringed with copper appear in spring to early summer, creating a dramatic contrast against purple-toned pads.
 Fruit: Produces edible purple fruits after flowering—loved by wildlife and great for subtle harvesting.
 Structure: A rounded, tree-like cactus that grows to 4–6 ft tall and 8–10 ft wide at maturity. Pads are nearly circular and often spineless or with few central spines.

🌿 Care & Growing Tips
Light: Full sun enhances color and bloom potential.
Water: Water every 2–3 weeks during warm months; monthly or less in cooler seasons.
Soil: Use well-draining cactus mix.
Cold Hardy: Tolerates down to 0°F to -5°F (USDA Zone 7) when kept dry.
Container Friendly: Makes a stunning potted specimen or low-maintenance landscape accent.
Note: The purple coloring is often a result of neglect or winter dormancy. Because we send healthy, well-cared-for pads, they may arrive more green-blue. Color change is encouraged with time and environmental stress (sun, cold, dryness).

Paranormal Werewolf Shifter Romance
Format: Paperback
Really good second book in this series. This is the story about Heather whose a werewolf shifter who couldn't shift, but gets help from a witch and an alpha werewolf that brings out her wolf , but she goes rogue after shifting and runs. When Heather and V meet they know that they are each others mate, but there's problems from the beginning. There's a lot of violence, drama and angst in this story, so I would say buckle up for a wild ride.. I would definitely recommend this book and I look forward to what's next in this series from this author.

4 Stars
Format: Paperback
This is a shifter romance that features a non-binary wolf whose father, an Alpha, is stuck in the old ways of running a pack. In comes Heather, featured within the previous installment of the series, who doubts herself and has self-hatred due to her strained relationship with her mother. There are werewolves, witches, dominants and submissives. It's a slow building romance at first and then full steam ahead. For those who are triggered by self-doubt, you may want to pass this up as well as those who hate the mention of the phrase mate or my mate. It is a good second installment of the series with enough open ended content to have a third book on the horizon.

A ghost story with tons of heart
Format: Hardcover
On the surface, this is a story about two kids ghost hunting in the Appalachian woods. But in reality, it's a beautifully nuanced exploration of loving (but messy) families, opening up to those you love, kindling new friendships, cherishing and protecting the environment, facing challenging emotions head on, and so much more. I'm so grateful that highly sensitive children (and adults) will get to know this empathetic, peace-keeping main character. There are so many protagonists that save the day with their heroics, but bravery so much more often looks like Tennie. This book serves as a beautiful reminder for those of us constantly filling others' buckets that our own needs and wants matter too.

Delightful spooky middle grade
Format: Hardcover
I was thrilled to learn that Ash Van Otterloo was releasing a second spooky middle grade set in Howler's Hollow. Instead of the zombies we find in Cattywampus, this book stars a girl who can release memories and, it turns out, ghosts from objects. She needs to figure out what the ghosts are trying to tell her before it's too late.
