One year and three months later...there are a total of 12 pups. Although one is smallish and underneath two others. The two largest are nearly equal in size at ~4.75" diameter including the spines. As expected no roots have appeared. The parent cactus seems slightly undernourished..perhaps from...

Thanks Keith! I hate sanding seeds- I’ve done it with mesquite seeds and it was very effective.

Thanks Steve! I would be interested in texensis.

Sure thing! PM me your address and I'll send you some.

Sorry, no EH seeds. I have E texensis and E englemanni plus some Sclero parviflorus and Pedio simp if you're interested.

I might have some EH seeds. Both of mine bloomed over the last couple of years and I pollinated them with each other. Just don't recall right offhand if I harvested seeds or not. I'll check and reply.

Roger that!

And I'll try on your thread as a test...an Agave in my front yard in ground succulent garden. It worked. Maybe check your file size? IDK.

Hmmm...looks like a success to me.

Evan mentioned not being able to attach images in his members blog thread. So this is an Agave..something...maybe parryi..given to me as a trade gift with a local Yucca, Agave and Cactus enthusiast. It's been in ground since it was a pup in his yard and since last summer in mine. Two new pups are fo...

Show us....all of them....



....and Big Welcome!

Thanks, Alejandro! Most of those were cell phone images. The bottom Milky Way was entirely cell phone captured. The Moon images were also with a cell phone held up to the eyepiece of my telescope. The others were taken with an older Canon DSLR I bought used last year. Amazing to me that cell cameras...

Some of my recent stuff. Kinda random, however I did dabble a bit into Astrophotography lately.

Same here...reply only...it seems. No new threads and no image insertion...yet.

No complaints here...just patiently waiting and glad to see others are posting.

Happy New Year!
