That is a very nice plant, never seen a bloom on one before, I have tried several times to grow them, without success. Len

I have many favorite plants, but after cactus I would have to say the Colocasia family,(elephant ears) I grow most outside and they die back during winter and re-emerge in spring.The first pic is of one of my turtle pens http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/4382_IMG_0008_copy_2.jpg this one is of...

One of my tortoise keeping friends sent me a box of cuttings from his property today, some I recognize some I don't. Here are a few pics of them http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/4382_micksall_1.jpg http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/4382_micks1_1.jpg http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userp...

It took a while but I finally found it, neat pic, Len

The first one I've had a while, first blooms opened yesterday, http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/4382_112111_1.jpg http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/4382_112111a_1.jpg The 2 opuntia I got at home depot today, my guess is a basilaris but not sure. http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/4...

It's been almost 2 months,and it is doing something, a little new growth.I have it outside with the other plants that need some protection at times, this is a first for me,I probably should water it more but I have killed every one of these I have ever had in the past. Thanks for the help, Len http:...

Hopefully my wood splitting days are over,Now I just start the generator,if needed. I like the slide show, Len

Almost everything I have has yellow, white, or orange,blooms I got real excited when I saw the first bloom open on this plant on Nov 2, another one opened on the 4th, and today a third one opened, My last opuntia bloom opened on Sept 9, wasn't expecting any more blooms this year.

Is this the normal color? Thanks, ...

I see it, whats funny is my wife showed me this on her lap top the other day and I couldn't find it.I guess I just needed a bigger screen.Len

I've had this one for about a month and a half, my grand daughter found it on the bottom shelf of the rack at HD it had a bloom at that time but it never fully opened.It got a second bud and it opened last week,I had brought in inside because of all the rain we have been getting.The first pic was ta...

Thanks ian, I think I may try to keep it outside under glass next to one of the vents for the crawl space, I have been doing this with most of my shorter cactus for a few years now and had good success with them as long as they stay dry.After the leaves are gone off the trees,they get sun all day du...

Picked this up at Lowes today($1.49), I have never tried to keep this type of plant before, but after seeing some of the beautiful ones that some of you have,I figured I would try. I figured it's been in the store in the shade for quite a while,I am in zone 7 so it will be in a window for the winter...
