I have some seedlings that I planted in June. I recently took some of them out of the baggies. I've had several new sprouts since then. I was torn as to whether to put them back in the baggies, but I decided to leave them out and see how it goes. I had very low germination rate from my most recent b...

Look what I found in my pool!
I went out this morning to make a quick check on the cacti this AM and saw some movement in the pool. It was a little snake, swimming tiredly, looking for the ladder. It was about 1 foot/25cm long. http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/1079_pool_snake_1.jpg I don't know what it is, but he/she was ...

Everything here seems to be having a growth spurt now that we are beyond the hottest part of the summer. I think I have at least through mid-November before the watering really slows down. Humidity has been high lately and we're still getting scattered monsoon rains. I had a few brief showers at my ...

The one positive part of my battle with my squirrel is that some of the plants that were partially eaten are making some interesting new growth. My E. knipplianus has made two offsets where the beast ate one off. A couple of other plants are making lots of offsets where the tops were eaten. Digging ...

Great pictures Ian. They illustrate the weird flowering of this plant well. It will be interesting to see if someone ever gets viable seed. I have two of these plants now and will try some pollenation when they both flower at once. Ian, your specimen looks GREAT, the flowers open very wide, mine ten...

Those cactus seeds, they are so unpredictable! I planted some seeds in June, in plastic baggies. I just took them out last week. They seemed large enough to survive in a shaded spot without drying out. Well the odd thing is that I've gotten a bunch more seedlings sprouting since I took them out of t...

I drilled a bunch of holes in a Sterlite container (for a food-related project), and as long as the back of the material was supported, I didn't have any problems with a sharp drill bit and going slowly. If the material wasn't supported, as soon as you started to break through the far side, the plas...
