Hi from Barbados ( an island in the Caribbean)
Hi from Barbados ( an island in the Caribbean)
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

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.
