NO!!! The first is NOT the last ...

Post by WayneByerly »

Just recently I posted a request for assistance in determining the Identification of my very first cacti that came from a Hardware Store envelope of seeds that I bought and planted 8 years ago. Now, despite the fact that I live on a limited income, I've managed to collect about 90 different containers of a slightly smaller number of species.

In the summer of 2016, most of my cacti I built an inexpensive, primitive greenhouse and most of my cacti moved out into it. But my love for my succulents is such that I could not bear to empty my dwelling place of the things that I was growing. So some of them stayed inside. Here's a couple of pictures of my7 inside stuff. And guess what ... there is NO request for identification here. This is just the tiniest bit of reward for those who have helped me tirelessly and selflessly through the years that I have belonged to this forum. Thank you, one and all. Your efforts have NOT gone unappreciated. I only hope that Karma does indeed work and that I may pass along some of what I have received.

Most of what is inside is succulents, and most of what is outside is cacti but theres the odd Euphorbia, Cacti. Gastrolea, Crassula. and Pachypodium inside too.

I have two windows, one in the living room and one in the Dining room. This is the Living Room (L/R) setup.

D/R lower ... I started with seeds ... and now I'm growing seeds that have resulted from the flowers that my cacti have produced. MammilLaria hahniana, Mammillaria elegans, Astrophytum of a couple of different species.

I particularly like your haworthias!
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
