Hello, I´m Jorge from Sevilla, Spain. I´m a Cactus lover since i remenber... I have a small collection, already 40 or so cactus and succulents, and none of them very rare (no ariocarpus, kabutos etc in my collection ). However, for me every cactus is special and beautiful itself.

The genus i like more it is astrophytum, i have one asterias, one capricorne, two ornatum and one miryostigma. For next spring i´m planning to get some asterias seeds to increase my collection

I also like photography so i´ll be sharing some of them with you next days. I want to add some of today to my first post:

And of course, my apologies for my english...

Thanks for reading me!!

Welcome ! Astrophytums are some of my favorite cacti too.

Hola! Do you hold them all year round in an open air?

Welcome!

Welcome Jorge!
