Took this hedgehog cactus (Echinocereus sp.?) photo just outside of Carlsbad Caverns NP...if my memory is correct.

I was given this aloe many years back...not sure of the ID...anyone have ideas?

Thanks!

If It is M. plumosa then I managed to not only get a renegade seed in with the pectinifera I ordered from MesaGarden...but also choose it for grafting!

I might end up being sorta unpleasantly surprised, heh.

Probably the soil is too rich but nothing you can do about that now. You didn't choose the easiest species :shock: Just keep them warm and shaded and let them do what they do. Don't keep the soil saturated, at least once you think most of the seed has germinated, but try to keep the humidity high. ...

Thanks for the IDs!

Have a couple more if you guys dont mind:

I figured you guys might find this Mammillaria pectinifera seedling graft interesting/amusing... 6/16/12 http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7240/7382285128_6408260dca.jpg 6/21/12 http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7257/7416473480_80ace65501.jpg 6/29/12 http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8148/7470495550_831ea352f8....

These are all about 2-3.5 weeks old. Most all seed was purchased from MesaGarden I dont have much experience growing from seed and am a bit concerned my soil mix is too rich...hopefully I am wrong. I think I have had some nice results so far. :D http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5327/7185170763_07b4066d...

I am not yet very good at cacti IDs...or perhaps just plants in general...but I am getting better. If you wouldnt mind sharing *why* you think something is a certain ID that would be appreciated! 1. Mammillaria sp? http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8006/7350417918_ff0bf19486_z.jpg 2. Another Mamm? http:...

Was wondering if anyone had any ideas about an ID on this old cacti... It is approx 4.5inches tall and 5.5inches in diameter. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7073/7281827324_5c38664ca9_c.jpg http://farm1.staticflickr.com/224/474164827_9f8043e794_z.jpg I have had the plant for around 6 years so far...i...
