Those images brought back memories from my belated honeymoon trip to Yellowstone National Park. I remember those clear water pools, the Mammoth Hot Springs with the colorful sediments and the geysers with their sulfur emissions that smelled like rotten eggs. It certainly was an amazing trip and wel...

It is a nice painting. I like those hot pools in Yellowstone. The tube going down into the ground is so ominous looking. I always think they look bottomless. I've been to a similar, larger pool outside the park that someone had released tropical fish into back in the 50's and they are still there. ...

Great picture's Tony! I had one before but sadly, mother nature cried too much.

Hm. This is delicious spam...

the last pic looks fake to me. by the way, i know this is a little late but you can take cactus on flights. i bring them home from arizona every time i go down there. some nurseries even sell boxes that fit under your seat in the plane. Yeah, I know. The last one is a painting in the Wyoming State ...

Wow, awesome tortoise!!!

Sorry. I was gone during that time. I fixed my settings. Thanks.

Unfortunetly,my camera received water while I was filming a Colorado stream and now is malfunctioning. Wish me luck in fixing it guys!!! http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/2200_Yellowstone_trip_2009_163_1.jpg Apples from an apple tree in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. http://www.cactiguide.com/for...

What is up with the time? I mean like if I post something at 5: 00 my time, it shows up as 10 : 00 on the website forum page. Is there a function to sync. it together or is the site just running 5 hours ahead of where I live? ( I am guessing Europe time??? )

I asked a friend and he said S. whipplei as well. Thanks guys.

* Side note *
I did not take the cacti home, it was in a protected nation park for curious on-lookers. I just stood and took a picture.

Well Buck has kindly offered up his pic from this post: http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1192 That's a really good example of this craziness. Now just need a few of the removal/aftermath and it will be enough to start with. I'm going to have to be on the lookout for these too and rem...

Hi guys, I recently logged on to my friend's yt account to upload my video when I was at Yellowstone. This was a recording of a water spout. There was large numbers of chinese people near me so if you understand chinese, you would know what the people next to me are saying. http://www.youtube.com/wa...

I also see those " grub worms " while digging in the yard or just doing yardwork. Those are quite destructive in my area and I heard that they devour plant roots and destroy plants in general. I used them as fish bait, but I usually dispatch them when I find them in the soil.

Good that you didn't collect the Sclerocactus. Aside from being protected, they are quite difficult to grow, especially larger plants like that taken from the wild. One time a guy near St. George, UT contacted me about rescuing some from development. I had to pass as I knew I wouldn't be able to ke...
