She's been collecting them for about 15 years. She's really fond of Allaudia, Euphorbia, Gasteria, Haworthia, Aloe, and all the epiphytic cacti.. I didn't get but maybe half to a third of her plants in those pictures. Most have been moved outdoors for the summer already.
She also has an extremely impressive collection of Sempervivum but if I started posting pictures of all those this thread would take hours to load on dial-up

Yeah, she has some nice specimens there! Especially that C. ausensis!

Nice collection. Have to presume that your friend is involved with the Cascade Cactus & Succulent Society who are the hosts of th CSSA Convention next spring. We are really looking forward to Cactus in Seattle, what a concept.

Just look what a little glass can do for a collection.

Hi Buck - No she's not involved with any societies or clubs.. yet. I'm trying to get her to join

What is that incredibly spiny thing? It looks very much like some kinda foot massage gizmo from a department store.

The spiny one that I think you are referring to is Euphorbia suzanne.

I was gonna ask what it was also. Definitely caught my eye.

lol It's a unique plant for sure. She has two but that one was better looking

Reminds me of a little green prickly person.. no idea why.

Pictures like that make me long for a greenhouse.
