hello everybody!
We are two brothers from Italy and we'd like to show you some of our cultivars, in this case some onzuka:

Wow, they look great. I wish I had an Onzuka of some sort. I don't often encounter them here in Sydney, are they difficult to grow?

Thanks! They are not difficult if they are grafted, a bit slow if on own roots. More white are them, less fast they grow.

Hi guys! Glad to have you join up.

There must be something about the initials "C & D" that makes for skilled cactus growing.

We have another "C & D" (Craig & Denise) here where you can see lots of amazing cactus too:

Of your pictures, I really like that second one. Neat star pattern. It must have been watching the Stapeliads bloom and got inspired.
