Hello everyone. I have been lurking here for a while, and decided it was time to join in. I enjoy growing cactus and a few other succulents, often from seed. I also like to get out and see them in the wild here in Arizona. Here are some of this summer's flowers from my collection.

Welcome! What a nice set of plants you have! Well done!
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.
I too welcome you to the CactiGuide forum. I also agree with the previous posters about the great condition your plants are in. One question:
Are those Echinocereus engelmannii and that beautiful Ferocactus emoryi planted in the ground of your garden? Those images with these large plants seem to be in a setting like what you would find in their natural habitat.
Yes, those two are out in their natural habitat. The Echinocereus is on the Saguaro National Park West Unit, and the Ferocactus is west of Nogales, AZ along the Ruby Road. I just started a thread on the Cacti Places subforum of photos from the Ruby Road area. There were a lot of great plants there!
