Hi everybody,
I used to have a pretty large collection years ago, but recently saw some cacti in a local drug store and decided to re-start it. However I forgot almost everything I knew about cacti growing, and can;t even identify my new plants. I live in Providence, RI. Maybe someone can give some advise, like what books would be useful at this point, are there cacti clubs in my area, and where can I buy soil and other supplies?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Re-starting a collection
Welcome from a fellow New Englander!
My library over here seems like a good place to start looking for books, but I can't answer any other questions other than that.

A cactus and succulent collector who especially likes Ariocarpus. …Though I have a bit of everything! Want some pictures? See my flickr! I also do art and such.

With apologies to the late Professor C. D. Darlington the following misquotation springs to
