Whoah!!! I did a google search and some site named succulentguide.com popped up!!!!
The format looked very familiar. Before I filed charges for plagiarism I realized... it is us!!
Wonderful! When did this happen? Is it "live" or still waiting for the official release? Do you want big picture photos and / or suggestions or is this all premature. Will I violate the ban on religious discussion if I say MAZAL TOV!
Is this what you do in the winter?
Great success to Daiv and Ian in this endeavor and to all the other contributors.

PS Hmmm, perhaps next year xerophyteguide.com (better buy the name now!) for all the drought resistant companion plants for cacti and succulents.
Whoops! You'll see that it is still a bit rough around the edges. Mostly missing content in some key areas. I had wanted to get at least 1000 species listed before the official launch. The forum will be shared between the two, which will require a little revamping.
As for Xerophytes, these can be added here as well - perhaps a bit of a stretch, but that's OK.
So there it is - a work in progress!
All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
Sorry if I spilled the beans early. At least we didn't find out about from Wikileaks...
Daiv, no need for an embarrassed smiley - of course it is a work in progress. That was obvious and totally understandable. Even so, I already have found it useful.
Are you open for input? Do you want photos, etc? Or is there so much on the plate now that we had best let you just work without hassles.
It is an awesome idea and brilliant to have a common forum!
I have also seen this work of yours, though I must admit, I did find it before this topic was started. I just thought it was the sister site, I hadn't even thought that it might not be a "live" site.
So congrats Daiv on being proactive and coming up with a surely helpful, and once again informative website where -philes of all kinds can rejoice that they've found others like themselves.
Daiv yeah, from what I remember it was a work in progress like the Succulent guide. Take your time, I am sure you will get to it some day.
Btw I will check out the succulent one too some more, I took a quick peek at it the other day. I got tons of photos to put on, including some from Longwood Gardens which is located near West Chester, PA.
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.
grassguide would be cool too, of course I mean the lawn and garden variety
With apologies to the late Professor C. D. Darlington the following misquotation springs to
mind ‘cactus taxonomy is the pursuit of the impossible by the incompetent’ - Fearn & Pearcy, Rebutia (1981)
ooooo... Grass guide would be neat as well. Like you said, the lawn and ornamental kind. Poor Daiv, he will have to be working on here 24-7 to keep up all these sites.
Whoops! You'll see that it is still a bit rough around the edges. Mostly missing content in some key areas. I had wanted to get at least 1000 species listed before the official launch. The forum will be shared between the two, which will require a little revamping.
