Saguaro123's collection pics

Post by Saguaro123 »

Well, since I have been on this forum long enough and today was a beautiful day, I decided to show you guys my collection.

Lets start from the garage. I put some plants there because I encountered some splits and rots on them.

Okay, lets move onto the garden.

Here are a couple that are in the ground, next to the Aeonium patch which I mentioned earlier.

Great collection, Byron!
I see you shop at Home Depot for your pots. I see a few we have as well ;)

Did that Red Teddy come from CalPlants? They've had it listed for awhile...almost got it, but figured 2 was enough :) (for now!)

Thanks Darryl. I always get my pots and supplies from Orchard Supply Hardware because our Home Depot and Lowe's have NOTHING!!! :x

Not all of them, maybe about 1/5-1/6 of them are some new ones I retrieved since I joined the forum.
I've alway had the Brighamia, Cylindropuntia Hybrid, Astrophytum "Huboki", Cintia Knizei, and the T. Peruvianus X Pachanoi.

Ah, that empty space in pic. no. 6 was where the C. Acanthocarpa X Bigelovii was supposed to be. I uprooted it because the plant split at numerous locations.
