Hi, we can't see your pictures. Please use a different host like imgur.com or attach them to your post instead. Strange, because Kamos can see them. I've changed the links to addresses that ends with .jpg now. Google photos + Picasa do not allow .jpg addresses anymore, so that might be the reason t...

Hi again! Yesterday I've been busy making a list of my entire collection, just to organize things a bit. I found 9 plants without an ID. Some plants were gifts, some I've bought from the local plant shop and others I've sown a couple of years back. Here we go: 1, 2 & 3: https://2.bp.blogspot.com...

Joe it will be! And thank you for the ID.

Hi all, A couple of years ago I've bought a cactus for a friend of mine. Before I packed it, I took one off-set and this is what it looks like some years later: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/eRZqThNK7NGCruHNak6FN_x_LTW9SUxT7_XmkhXro10JdePWdmt9iQifOmhCitX08dRFSb1ECV7bn4XMEDEZ2RHWINzpqj8CpSmDoMihI...

Ah yes, thank you!

It's leaning a bit to one side since the day my wife bought it for me. I'll just let it go.

Maybe. That's a very common species, so it would make sense for a theme park.

Yesterday I've visited a theme park with my family. In front of one of the attractions were standing two pots with a very pretty Opuntia tree in it. I totally forgot to take a photo, so I checked the plant out online and was able to find one photo: Piraña1.JPG The pad size is about 30 cm x 15 cm. I ...

Hi! Another plant without an ID yet. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-mwsE7-4IWac/V4Jzq7fBwzI/AAAAAAAAPMw/bliwDvdcVi4hcXFSW_BnjoFNkqkoegpwgCL0B/w935-h681-no/mam-2.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jRVZv2xRzEU/V4Jzo2fxHMI/AAAAAAAAPMw/8y6pyHS-APMfU9zyvZLu-OoJ08CJn3KbgCL0B/w825-h628-no/mam-1.jpg...

Very beautiful!

The little experience that I have with Gymnocalyciums is that the flowers do open a lot more on hotter days.
But even right now I think it's very pretty.

Thank you very much! I guess that's the right ID. The skin color matches, black spines, but mostly spineless, solitary, but clumping over the years.

One day I'll have the lizard skin... Never seen them on cactus shows here in the Netherlands, but I'm sure they'll show up one day.

Here's another photo of it, with flowers this time:

Just to be sure that I don't put the wrong ID on this plant. Can it be a Copiapoa tenuissima?

Thank you for the information. I would love to obtain a lizard skin, but they seem quite rare.
I've already find a nursery that sells seeds, but it'll take ages for them to grow. I'll buy some anyway.

I was actually looking for C. hypogaea var. 'lizard skin' and couldn't find it. But after all I came kind of close I see!

Hi all! I've bought this plant last saturday and I know that it's a Copiapoa, but not which. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-L1jseHB4rNg/V1UuEkV8M7I/AAAAAAAAO-Y/Ionj5hYdG6skOjEesG4okG03nRqDSXTgACCo/s900/New%2Bplants-8.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CFq6k94SSC4/V1UuE1hX9aI/AAAAAAAAO-Y/GydE...
