Hi folks from UK

Post by AlanW »

Hi there. My name is Alan (obviously). I'm from Derbyshire UK. About 20 years ago I had a fairly large collection of mainly globular cacti- I had about 45 mammilaria alone. I moved house & didn't have the right display space at first so I sold the collection. A few months ago I started collecting images of cacti on Pinterest & this has reawakened my interest in cacti. I have already aquired 7 nice plants from our local hardware store, however they were not named. I know 1 is a mammalaria & another is a cereus Peruviana monsterous & a third is a echinopsis but I cannot identify the individual species. How do I go about finding the names? Do I send in photos? It would be great to have your help. Thanks guys

Welcome, Alan!

You just need to post photos on the Cacti Identification forum. Read the "Announcements" thread at the top of that forum for instructions.

Hello there.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.
I dont mind
I dont mind.
I DONT MIND
