Well I think the ocotillo were salvaged, they are big. The agave I don't know cause there is a house next to it. Today I also saw some echinocereus,echinopsis(peanut cactus), more prickly pears, and some chollas. I live in El Paso,TX.

In thursday news paper there was an article about cactus here is the link. http://www.elpasotimes.com/apps/pbcs.dl ... 00322/1004[/url]

I will try to get some but i don't know. Can you post a picture with one of those old cameras, develop the film, then scan to your computer and post it. If you can that is the only way I can post a pic.

Today on my way to the bus stop I noticed a couple of prickly pears blooming. On the way home I saw an agave with the bloom stalk coming out and all of the ocotillo blooming also.

My echinocereus vividiflorus has a lot of buds some of them have opened and some haven't. I can't seem to see the flower completly open just half ways.

I also have some rescued cacti on hold. I just need to pick them up. I hope to do it this weekend.

Maybe it could be euphorbia grandialata.

I think the first one is venosa, and the second is pumila, or attenuata v. clariperla.

I was thinking about buying some of epiphytic cactus. I think know I am.

I think i might buy one of those tomorrow when i go to the cactus nursery.

Today i took out my aloe and tied the flower so that it could stand straight.

My aloe that I have inside is flowering and today when I got home the stem was fallen over. What do I do?

My parodia haselbergi just finished blooming five flowers and one to come. Do they produce fruit.

So they need heat all day? For how many days.

Thank you for clearing that up. They are both nice.
