Yep, they did at the Toledo Zoo, reintroduced at Kitty Todd and Oak Openings Preserve. Basically they were almost extinct.
You can get these natives any time at Naturally Native Nursery in Bowling Green (ask for Jan). She will hook you up
They only had some common milkweed at the sale. NNN has swamp and more.
Ohio Prickly Pear is rare, so 's hard to get. They did have some, we got one more plant. Ours from last year is growing extremely well, its able to be propagated after a year so. (Cuttings/seed).
