Hello from Vancouver Island!

Post by Mervl »

I moved from England to Canada in 2010 and had to leave my cacti behind. Fortunately, the local Canadian Tire had some fine, older specimens for sale and I bought quite a few of these. Although I know the genera of most of them, I don't know all of the species so I'm hoping the ID section of this forum will solve that problem! I look forward to finding out what they all are and hearing from fellow enthusiasts. First I need to do a bit of research and find out how to post photos here.
Cheers, Mervl

Thanks for that link, elieestephane. I've put up some photos of a mammillaria for ID and I'll check through that list when I have a few minutes to spare.
