somewhat new to succulents! some pics of my small collection

Post by trek623 »

hey everyone! new member here! i got this website from a carnivorous plant board and, after seeing all the unusual succulents and cacti, i knew that i had to join! i have a few succulent cuttings as a result of trading some carnivorous plants with a person and would like to really start collecting/growing them as well as i can in my Tennessee climate. i am hoping to meet some people on this website who are interested in trading some carnivores for some succulents. here are some pictures of a portion of my current collection of succulents and also some pictures of my carnivores. i hope you enjoy them and their bad quality!

Hello trek623,
also a warm welcome from the most westward point of Texas. I hope, that you are going to become a die-hard fan of the cactus growing community. I too started out with just two salvaged plants and now do have one hundred more or less.
Carnivorous plants have also always fascinated me. I even had a Venus Flytrap plant once that I grew from a bulb-like structure. It even flowered for me.
