Hello everybody!

late twenties, writing my masters thesis, just started getting a cactus and succulent garden going.

so far only have one myrtillocactus geometrizans that i grew from a cutting, but been keeping my eyes peeled around town and found a few potential donors

hope to learn a lot while i'm here.

I wonder how that come about..a guy straight from the Heart Of The Succulent World grows a cacti? :D
You can have almost all the mesembs of the world, all those cool geophytic gems..
Oh wait a sec..one always wants to grow those not indigenous.
Exotic plants, like cacti, fit the bill for you perfectly, I guess.

Warm welcome gardenboy! :wink:

i do have a few succulents as well and they're mainly indigenous. a friendly neighbour actually gave me most of them. when i have a moment i'll try and id them all, but i do know that i have a few Carpobrotus edulis going.
anyways, thanks for all the welcomes!

Welcome to the cactus forum. With that Myrtillocactus geometrizans you picked a fast growing and quite hardy giant type. I am sure, that you are going to increase your collection rapidly as most of us have. :)
