Hello, this place looks interesting!

Hi all! I'm new here (surprising, I know). I'm located in California so we have loooots of sunshine for cacti and other succulents. I don't actually have any cacti yet (I'm hoping that will change soon, after my birthday passes). I do have a few succulents though. The succulent that started my colle...
