I don't know what I want exactly. I like to see what people have for inspiration. I like the unique and wierd.

Re: Come on already.

Open pollinated Cleistocactus
Lots of Cereus peruvianus from 6inches to about 12 inches This is a small sampling.
unknown hamatocacti
unknown Weingartia
some Ferocactus a couple of different types.

Re: Come on already.
yup. And it ensures that what you are sending will arrive safely and be viable. If you take them too early they can die
we don't want that

Re: Come on already.
no, nothing was damaged, except I got some glochids for my trouble unpacking, but I will not complain about that, as that is part of the deal and was expected.
Everyone hates glochids, I just find them annoying lol

Re: Come on already.
I did have one casualty, sorry to say. The Opuntia elisiana didn't make it. It turned black and floppy, I was a little worried about it before it seemed a funky color, and sure enough it turned black. It's fine.. I understand, stuff happens.martenfisher wrote:Was anything I sent you squashed. You had no complaints of damage i took that as a good thing.
I have potted about 10 of them before the dang cat drove me nuts. I am going to get them all started in pots them put them in ground.. for those that are going, save the O. ficus-indica. Will work on them more tomorrow.

Re: Come on already.
I thought the ellisiana was ready but I think I cut those too early. Even mine are rotting. I won't cut those so soon from now on. I do find when they start to rot like that that you just throw it on the ground somewhere in a shady spot and it might keep enough green to sprout offshoots.
