Cactus in Ohio

[Kilishandra]

Hi everyone, I'm new here and want to show off some of my cactus. I'm in the process of re-potting everyone after learning more about cactus soil from everyone on the forum. I am also in the process of making computer records of all my plants so I can keep track of them better.

If I call a cactus by the wrong name, please correct me - I love learning more about my plants and it will help me care for them better.


Euphorbia splendens in flower this June - purchased 2008


Opuntia ?? in my new rock garden - purchased 2008


Unknown but about to bloom! - purchased 2001


More to come tomorrow - Opuntia, agaves and a few other succulents!

Hi
The third one is a stapelia of some sort. (Carrion plant)

Awesome, its never bloomed for me before, I cant wait to give it a sniff! I'll look online about how to self pollinate it, I would love to collect some seeds.

I'm going to take some more pics this afternoon, its just been so hot and humid I don't want to stand outside with my collection!

Nice variety, that Agave potatorum 'kichjokan' is a beaut!:)
I think that your Haworthia ssp. might actually be Aloe hybrid 'Pepe'

I just looked up 'Pepe' and they look really similar - a mystery solved.

I saw the Agave on Ebay and just had to have it, it and the other are my first agaves so I'm praying not to kill them.

Nice to see all these C&S from Ohio!

My stapelia just bloomed, there are flies all over it. I took some pictures and I'll try to upload them tonight.

Nice plants. I agree with Tony, that A. potatorum cultivar is really nice.

Hard to tell the size, but suspect your Opuntia is O. humifusa, very hardy, fit for Ohio!

I have that A. potatorum cultivar too, and I love it. Apparently I love it so much that I bought it twice, because for some reason I have two. One is pupping like mad.

A most satisfactory plant!

I visit cinncinati twice a year and its beautiful! I really like Newport Kentucky too, it's such a nice area.
