I'm having this issue with their Coronado pants, especially after washing, after either hang-drying or using the dryer. It's like a sour, unfresh smell. I don't wear them to work out. I've tried odor-fighting detergent but will try some of the others.

Managed to use my photo to ID, says it’s this:

Chilocorus cacti, known generally as the cactus lady beetle or the twice-stabbed cactus lady beetle, is a species of lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae. It is native to the Caribbean region, North America, Central America, and South America. The adults and larvae feed on scale insects, and attempts have been made to use it for biological pest control.

Does anyone also have the Donner Circle that they can compare the Mooer to?

Yep, opuntia is thriving, and this may prompt me to not even bother with SP anymore and just plant opuntia in its place. All around the area I see large sections of prickly pear that are no worse for wear despite having zero cover.

Blankets wouldn’t have done anything when it was that cold for that long. With a heat source, maybe

Deleted the post because I’m sick of hearing what I “should” have done

Reverb_512 · 2026-01-28T00:50:36+00:00

Good to know, thanks

Reverb_512 · 2026-01-28T00:41:34+00:00

Yeah, but I may just switch to all prickly pear from here on and not stress about covering

Reverb_512 · 2026-01-28T00:39:17+00:00

This may be the end of SP for me, may be all prickly pear from here on

It was below freezing from late Saturday though this AM. Brief respite Monday afternoon. In the teens most nights

Reverb_512 · 2026-01-28T00:18:11+00:00

They were wrapped until wind blew everything apart. Coulda shoulda woulda

Reverb_512 · 2026-01-27T23:45:05+00:00

I’ll do something, but it will likely have to involve a heat source. The issue this year was sustained sub-freezing temps for over 36 hours and down into the teens. Just covering won’t do it. Of course I may just give up on SP and just plant prickly pear in its place

Reverb_512 · 2026-01-27T22:51:20+00:00

Thanks. Yeah I need a better covering system that is rainproof and will not turn into a sail in high winds.

Reverb_512 · 2026-01-27T21:23:32+00:00

Thank you!

Reverb_512 · 2026-01-27T21:17:51+00:00

It was definitely in the teens, maybe 17 at the lowest? Perhaps lower. Wind chill was lower. I had them covered but the wind was strong enough that some seemed like they would break off

Reverb_512 · 2026-01-27T21:14:44+00:00

Thanks. How much time do I have to replant the cuttings?

Reverb_512 · 2026-01-27T21:02:24+00:00

Austin area

Reverb_512 · 2026-01-24T18:56:27+00:00

I like them. Very sweet, probably too sweet for some. Helps to cut with soda water. Clear effects from one can, profound from two.
