You sure can grow them LeeVan. The angle on the first picture makes it look like your cactus stretch on all the way to the horizon!

Wow those are nice. I like the black spines on the first one. Your cacti look nice, and like Daiv said, they sure do seem to stretch forever!
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.

Thanks,
Yeah, cacti stretching on all the way to the horizon, that would be nice :D .
My greenhouse is full, I re-potted everything, a lot of them needed a larger pot and I am getting a bit cramped in space. I was planning to get me some more 'Delicatessen' but first I have to work on the space problem. So my horizon is 4 metres long and 2.7 wide for the moment with some larger Opuntiads outside in open air.

Anything with black spines is good. Nice flower colour too.
