Dan's 2010 Cacti and Succulents

Post by Waxsimulacra08 »

I felt I would like to create a topic for myself to.

I have close to 50 cacti at the moment (not including seedlings) and have had a good deal of flowers and such so far.

I'll start with my newest additions!

E. micromeris

Image

C. laui

Image

C. tenuissima f. monstrose

Image

L. fricii

Should be getting some flowers and an order from Miles Anderson in soon, pics when they arrive!

Thanks guys!

My Miles to go stuff came into our post office today, but sadly after I went to work.

Hopefully I'll be able to pick em up, pot em up, and snap some pics before I go to work tomorrow!

Also, I've got a Copipoa Hypogaea that should be opening soon, such a prolific flowerer!

I'd also like to thank Darryl and CC for most of these, always can expect some nice plants from over there :)

It Myrtillocalycium cv. "polyp".

It's a chimera between Myrtillocactus cochal and Gymnocalycium mihanovichii cv. RED HIBOTAN

Me too, thank you :)

The A. agavoides looks to have a dead flower on it, so hopefully I'll get more this season and will try crossing, breeding, etc.

The other Ario in there is a A. retusus x A. agavoides.

EDIT: I added all the names in there for everyone :)
