Cactuscity website

Though this thread is a couple of years old, I thought I'll post some pictures of a couple of cacti I got growing from green fruit pods. http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/3229_IMG_0963_1.jpg http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/3229_IMG_0960_1.jpg http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/322...
