Hi from Barbados ( an island in the Caribbean)

LazyD · Post by **LazyD** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 12:56 pm

I am a bit late since I have joined the group about a week ago but nevertheless hello to everyone.

I am enjoying this site very much so far especially the forums - there is such a wealth of knowledge and so much to learn.

My cactus and succulent collection is very small (currently 2 of each type) but I am hoping to expand very quickly.

If there are any members from the Caribbean out there I would like to hear from you

Hi!
I don't think we have many people from there. Glad to have you and looking forward to seeing your plant and maybe even some native cactus in your area.

Hello, and welcome to the cactus and succulent forums. I do live in the desert, which is not quite like the Caribbean island of Barbados, but we do have a lot of sand, including the whitest one in the world (White Sands National Monument) and I own a few coins from your country.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes - I feel like part of the "family" already!!

Daiv there is not much local cactus to share with you guys but there are some popular succulents that I can share with you.

Considering I live in the Cariibean and it is either hot or raining I am really not sure how to treat my cactus/succulents. I am trying my hardest not to over water them....but it so hard not to give them some water after a long hot day!!

Hi Sweetsaphie - welcome to the forum

I hope you will share pictures of your cacti with us - especially the ones you got from Barbados that were just lying on the ground!

The stinky flowering plant is probably some form of Stapelia. I am sure there others on the forum who also have this plant and will be able to name it properly for you.
