I have loved cacti since I was a child and have owned many, even grew some from seed. Since I am well into my forties I should have an impressive collection by now but no. Until a few months ago I owned none. I seem to have a pretty impressive talent for killing them. Something draws me back to them. As an Irish child growing up on a small farm in the often cold Irish climate they where exotic and wonderfully alien.
I have started my collection again and am already in trouble. I will post about that again. I am hoping to build a nice collection again and this time keep them alive with expert help.

It's all part of the process of learning, glad you're back into it though!
