Karin - I've got various drill bits to make @ least 1 decent hole in those garage sale treasures!
Once bitten by the cactus collecting/growing bug, there is no known cure!
There's no 12 step programme for Cactaholics...so I shall just have to get some more!!

Some wonderful plants you have there. And the pots you have are darn right sexeh. The earthy colours even almost Iron stained looking and That Pachypdium is fantastic. Never seen one of those ones before, and that pot i's crackled up. Look like what the ground beneath the desert could be the buried parent rock with it's faults and cracks.

Awesome plants, tudedude!
Especially the Strombocatus is stunning. Your last shown Turbinicarpus should be a Turbinicarpus polaskii but I'm not sure.
Two pics to compare.

The flowers of Turbinicarpus swobodae are more yellowish.

I believe it's around 10 years old. I think maybe it started as a cutting or graft.

Thanks, yeah it looks more like a ploaskii than swobodae.

And you know what. That really is an Astrophytum :lol: =^_^=

I am loving your Turbinicarpus, especially the one that is just literally covered in flowers. Turbs really are precious like jewels , it's no wonder amateur growers love them so much.

I'm not up on Strombocactus, but that does look one heck of a good plant
