Re: Hi everyone
Nice cross section to start with - nice healthy plants that will reward you with new growth and/or flowers.
All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
Re: Hi everyone
Welcome to the cactus and succulent forum. You already do have a nice collection of pretty good sized cacti and succulents. Have you been growing these plants for many years? I hope, you will enjoy our group of plant enthusiasts and am glad, you decided to join.

Hello!

Re: Hi everyone
I actually only had the barrel cactus in the back far corner to begin with. Then I got really into it and start collecting.

Re: Hi everyone
Welcome, Eagle, to a truly outstanding Forum! If you're already thinking of a 6 x 30', better start looking for the 1/2 acre plot As you can tell from Harriet or Sharpy (the rest didn't want to scare you yet ), you'll quickly start wondering "How did I get so many plants?" I've only been on this ride for 3 yrs, & I've stopped counting plants -- but it take 4 hrs to H20 them all! Endless experience here, as well as great humor, not to mention gorgeous pics!
