My lollypop G. mihanovichii died. I tried to save it. How? I brought it to the colleague who is more knowledgeable in the cacti than I am. He show me how can I get the offsets off the cacti to try to save them. But he gave me a substitute in case it doesn't work. Here is the substitute:

Nice Haworthia, Maja! Do you know if it's a retusa? My addictive behavior has spread into Haworthias. Have several Flickr contacts that are Haworthia fanatics that are "feeding" me while I get/grow "a few"

. Fabulous plants, esp. if poor lighting (great for upstate NY winters)!

Sorry. Have no idea what kind is it. A womah who gave me that Haworthia, she doesnt care much for species, as long as she has the genus right. If she find out the species aswell its only a bonus. So I don't know about it eather. but I'm open fon any ideas.

And the echinopsis isn't an echinopsis. I've been told it's Acanthocalycium violaceum.

it depends who you ask, some people consider acanthocalycium part of echinopsis
