How many did I get right?

Post by Geo »

Hi, I'm quite a keen gardener but completely new to cacti and to this forum.

I'm going to make a special bed in my greenhouse and to kick off I bought a collection of cacti from (rightly or wrongly) Amazon!. They had no labels and I didn't realise how many different cacti there are until I started looking trying to identify what I have bought.

After a few hours looking at hundreds of pictures, including ones here, I have labelled up what I think they are, I hope I've got some right!!

Can anyone help with this? I've added a pic of the collection.

After I have got the names right I can start to look up how to care for them, flowering times, etc. No doubt there will be more questions posted to keep me right..

Hope I've added the pic correctly.

Hi Geo. It would help if you let us know where in the world you live. This is an International site and your winter might be my summer.
