Hey all, thanks for welcomes!
They can most likely remain in their pot for a while longer, except perhaps for the larger plant to the right in the rear. Is that some kind of Echinocereus?
Harald, this is Echinocereus triglochidiatus, it does look a little too vigorous for this planter, but I don't have outdoor bed for it (yet).
at "9 o'clock", going clockwise, a couple small Cylindropuntia imbricata. The spiny Echinocereus at about 1 o'clock looks like triglochidiatus "White Sands." Then at about 4 o'clock is E. viridiflorus, with Echinocereus reichenbachii in the center, then at about 5 o'clock is Escobaria vivipara, and then Echinocereus triglochidiatus fa. inermis, and then what looks like another Echinocereus viridiflorus.
How did I do? And did you purchase at least some of your plants from High Country Gardens?
Hi Peterb, you did pretty good! Top plant is E. triglochidiatus, but I am not sure about ssp. or cv. name. I got it from nursery in NV, must be hardy. 4 o'clock is E.viridiflorus ssp. viridiflorus, at the center is E. reichenbachii baileyi (white spines), then Escobaria vivipara and E.t. inermis indeed, and the last one is E. reichenbachii HK1228. I got them all from Miles2go, except Cylindropuntia cuttings, which came from NV too. Small one looks like C.imbricata, but the larger one is different (I was so happy that they let me get these cuttings, that I forgot to write down the names .
I am planning to get few plants from High Country Gardens, what would you recommend? They seem to be a little too optimistic about the hardiness Zones.
So you went from 0-200 in two years? Sounds like a good pace!
Daiv, this is a scary pace, and it is getting faster yet! Anyway, I blame the internet
You must have a lot of window space!
CelticRose, I am using windows at work too! Actually, most of my plants are still rather small, wait till they all grow!
Nice to meet you all
Feel free to ask a lot of questions and show us many to identify.
