I would guess too much water, but someone else will know for sure.

Every now and then you will find something good, or something you don't already have at Home Depot and Lowe's. You can always shop online, but it's not as fun. I've been to all the nurseries on this side of town, and there are no cacti/succulents to be found.

No, not that I'm aware of. There is a place called the Cactus King, but I've heard it's more art than cacti. The website is kinda vague. http://www.bluesguy.com/cactusking/index.html If you're into misc. abstract art, and have alot of money, this may be the place. We haven't made the venture out the...

Thanks ya'll!

I looked through some other pictures, where the flowers are at different stages, and the stigmas are always that color. No green tones.

Cool!!! Thanks Iann and Silenus. I thought I was worrying unnecessarily, but when I looked up the directions to the store that sells NAPA products...I panicked. I'll go get some this weekend.

Thanks again!!!

I have another question about this...I'm tired of the perlite floatin' and flyin' around, and was going to switch to the NAPA 8822, but now I'm worried about the moisture retention part of it. We're gettin' pretty warm down here, and our air is thick! This week it has been averaging between 93º and ...
