No kidding. I get back pains from doing that!

I can't wait to repot that Golden Barrel all the way in the back. It weighs more than 50 pounds.

Nice collection Byron. I agree with Tony, you still have lots of space left!

Where are you located exactly? Maybe we are neighbors?

Thanks Kika.

We live on opposite sides of the Bay Area.

Where on Earth did you get the Brighamia? They're such great plants. I've only ever seen one though at the USBG in Washington DC. Your cacti and succulents sure look great!

The Cactus Jungle Nursery in Berkeley had a couple last Spring when I purchased mine. It was one of their recommended plants at that time.

This Topic is now going to be renamed "Saguar123's 2009 Topic" Can someone move it to the "General Section" Please? Thanks

Here's a pic o my "Epi tree"

Here's the Pediocactus. does it look okay?

I found a opening that shows the inside of my Aeonium Patch.

The Pedio looks dormant already. Probably because it got a very early start (as in perhaps early January) here in Phoenix.

It always amazes me to see large Aeonium, I can't keep it alive for 2 weeks before it's leggy and dying.

Thanks Tom.

Aeoniums are pretty easy to grow and don;t need much attention.

They're not a big fan of our winters though. Something about 7-8 hour long days from sun up to sun down with MAYBE one sunny day a week just isn't their cup of tea. They're gorgeous when done right though!

When I lived in Ohio, I tried many times to grow Aeoniums in the house, but since they do a lot of their growth in the winter, they never grew like they do out here.

Agreed! They grow as much as a foot during the winter after it rains.
