Or maybe should ask every ones favorite. I am pretty new at this but as of right now I think mine is Echinocereus rigidissimus. I am new to collecting and recently I obtain my "most wanted" cacti O. ficus indica 'Sunburst' (variegated). Although not "rare", it is one of my favor...

Re: I'm stumped... please ID
I can see the 1st (orig) photo. A few posts down, it just says "image" at the bottom of your post. I'm on my laptop. Did you upload the blurry flower pic? Are you using a phone to post, ricshaw? Either way, seems you've gotten your ID. :) Yes, I uploaded the blurry flower picture from my ...

Re: I'm stumped... please ID
Definitely a Stapeliad. My best guess is Huernia schneideriana, but you need flowers to know for certain. Thank you to all who responded. =D> The person who gave it to me said; A favorite succulent plant, it blooms all year with burgundy flowers, does not like full sun, propagates easily; looks lik...

Re: Opuntia species recommendation for fruit
Most grocery stores are going to carry fruits from Opuntia ficus indica. Opuntia ficus indica has tons of varieties of fruits and the flavors and sweetness can go from dull in one variety to wow in another. Most of my varieties are near seedless and are tops for sweetness. I have 7 different variet...

Re: Opuntia species recommendation for fruit
I am still looking for cactus with good tasting fruit. Yesterday I visited an old mobile home and recreational vehicle park located in Southern California. The trailer park was originally constructed in 1953 and the property owners and city decided that it had reached the end of its useful life as a...

Re: Opuntia species recommendation for fruit
Being that you are from San Diego, you have a great opportunity of making selections in the wild and around the cities. If you spot a Prickly Pear growing at someones home with large fruit, knock on the door and offer them $2 for a pad and a fruit. Like I said, I have been looking for cactus with g...

Re: Opuntia species recommendation for fruit
Like Joseph, I too have been looking for cactus with good tasting fruit. I have been looking for thornless prickly pear varieties growing in my area. Recently I was able to get some cuttings. The first prickly pear pad I got was from a cactus growing behind the fence of a house on the shoulder of a ...
