Chasethorn's cactus collection

Post by Chasethorn »

So I got into cacti recently as I sold my reef tank, I needed something to do this summer and for the future. I love plants and anything living really. Here are some pics of what I have now. I'll update as I get more. The top 4 are the most recent purchased today! :D

This is the local place I go to... It's pretty large but this is my favorite room and table!

I like your C&S "sampler", you have a nice selection of plants.
