Ahh ! Now we are getting into the good stuff :-) As CP says, M. intertexta is a prolific bloomer and because it is highly variable, you should have 10 or 20 different clones to fully enjoy this easy to grow plant. My passion for cactus is centered around flower power and IMHO, Matucana is the clear ...

That's only fair Daiv -- Since Daiv outed me with an excellent habitat shot, I thought some might like to see what I was seeing. Buck must have Googled my map co-ordinates, or, more likely, he recognized some of his previous handiwork. JMCC is a highly recommended visit, especially in Feb, Mar when ...

Good choice for a starter. E. obesa is about the easiest of all E to germinate and grow on. Go scoup up one of those Tuscon anthills for the nice course top gravel and mix in about 20% coir or supersoil. Pack in a pot and soak the pot and media in water containing a 10-20% normal dosage of your favo...

These links may be of help on your A. ferox/marlothii id problem. I find them almost impossible to identify until they bloom. Then it is no problem. A third problem is the proliferation of names and hybrids. A newer intro that is especiall hard to tell from ferox is A. ortholopha but it's a great pl...

Unusual color is often a point of view. I have seen many plants in collections and on the show bench that barely resemble the habitat plant. A common case is that of Turbinicarpus that are mostly grown as round green balls. Especially those freshly bought from the volume producers. What is even more...

Degrafting is not a problem IF, your growing conditions allow successful culture of the ungrafted plant. In the case of Astrophytum, these conditons are easily met by most. Just make sure the the grafted plant is growing and healthy then cut away. Dry off as any cuting and pot it up. Best to do this...

General Comments on Picture Contest
Having read the preceeding posts, I have several comments. Firstly, cheers to Daiv for the idea. Most C&S fanciers I have known over the years are constantly accompanied by cameras. Especially now that the vest pocket digital is so cheap and capable. We go to meetings with slide shows and Ooh-Ah...
