Over 20 years survivors !!

Post by keith »

I have a few cactus intact from over twenty years ago. They have survived 5 moves, mealy bug and spider mite infestations , decapitation by a rat , and blown to hell in a windstorm last year. The epithelantha I grew from seed from Mesa gardens. The Ariocarpus I bought from Woody Minich out in littlerock CA. The Mammillaria is from Abby and survived a rat decapitation, the Escobaria is actually a piece from the mother plant long gone. The Mammillaria crucigera is a surviving stem cutting from a big clump which started out as a very small plant from abbey gardens. Kinda cool these guys are still around after I've lost so many .
