Newbie from Central Florida
Hey all, nice to be here. Retired now and always been interested in cactus. So I want to start growing some outside my hobby shop ( classic cars ). Shop has full sun all day out front, and a nice Oak tree shaded back yard. Any recommendations on what to start with ? I'll be exploring and getting used to the forum in the coming days. Thanks.

Welcome!
Any specific things you want in a cactus? Spines? Flowers? Easy/Hard to grow? Given your favorable growing conditions, there are many choices out there.

A cactus and succulent collector who especially likes Ariocarpus. …Though I have a bit of everything! Want some pictures? See my flickr! I also do art and such.

Thinking easy to grow to start off. I like unique, different stuff. Something that when I have friends come by they will say wow, what is that ? 
Going to be studying here on the forum.

Welcome to the forum! You have plenty of options for your climate. As far as wow factor a nice big melocactus with cephalium is sure to turn heads and would look great! It probably wouldn't even need much special treatment in central Florida!
