OK, this is sort of like "In with the old / in with the new."

All articles are found here in the order that they were added:

http://www.cactiguide.com/biology/

"Tools of the Trade" and "Making a Hypertufa Planter" are from previous posts on the forum, but they have been added to the articles section to make them more visible. So some of you have already seen those, but to some, they might be new.

"Cactus Flowers - Fake or Real?" is one I just wrote that we discussed in this post:

http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13485

"Have a Cup of Cactus" comes from Leland Smith, a guy who hasn't joined the forum (yet), but e-mails me pictures and information. You can see pics he sent from habitat in Nicaragua here:

I am surprised that you were able to identify the epiphytes he took.

He actually had the ID's on those - he's been doing a lot of study on the species that are in Nicaragua, which really narrows down the possible options on these.

Yes sir, I had to list your name for now as StrUktO, but if you want that to be different, just say the word.
