Thanks folks

Dustin, the lizard skin is in it's own pot, just crammed into a flat from moving from the GH to the SH.

Can ya believe this thread was back on page 3 and the last post was over a month ago...

Well, it's been even longer since i posted up pics of new additions, so here we go. Got these at the Orange County Show and Sale this past weekend.

Consolea sp.
Which i think might be C. macracantha

Arthrocereus rondonianus

Arthrocereus campos-portoi
A gifted cutting

Espostoa sp.
The grower thought it might be Morweitzia sericata, but i'm quite sure it is not that.

Turbinicarpus schmiedickianus ssp. flaviflorus

Frailea grahliana
This one is Jen's

Escobaria vivipara v. bisbeana

Matucana polzii

awesome stuff Darryl! Those arthrocereus are very uncommon, in the US anyhow.

I think they're even rare here, from what I've seen on pictures they have stunning flowers.

That consolea is wicked cool.
