Marvelous! Definately a nice cactus place to visit. Tell me, what is the wonderfully thorned plant in picture 36? A type of Alluadia? How big is that stem?

If the plant can be grown on it's own roots, as in it's not some flourescent color or something, you should br able to degraft it. I've had success with some. I have a Mammillaria luethyii I want to try the same with. Yes I would definately wait untill spring if not summer. Let the cutting dry well ...

Hi Tony, I live in the part of our country where Feros are native. Almost all get fairly gnarly looking on the sides. The most attractive view is of the new growth in spring. Some sun burn is common and unavoidable as these plants grow best in direct sunlight. Your plant will probably be fine. The d...

The sad part is that it was a transplanted Saguaro. Probably reclaimed from the original building site by law in Arizona. If the plant had been left in it's original location this never would have happened. They take considerable time to re-root themelves after a transplant and many don't make it. T...

Hi Bill :D I love the Opuntias for their color changes. Mine don't do the purple so much because of cold but reward me every spring with the new growth and buds.

Gymnocalycium ID
Happened to be on the east side of town yesterday and stopped in at one of my favorite cactus nurseries, B&B. A number of the plants I bought had no tags and I asked them to identify them but somehow we missed this one. A gorgeous blue green bodied Gymno with upright rather than recurved golden ...

Haworthia ID
Labled Haworthia species. Looks a bit like my H. truncata cv. "Lime Green". But I thought H. truncata leaves were dichotomous (LOL did I spell that right?) You know what I mean. This one is starting to take on more of a rosette form and two others I got at the same time are almost complete...
