cactus

I'm offering two rooted cuttings of this red flowered, non fragrant spring blooming orchid cactus. The mother plant will be blooming in a few days. These cuttings were taken in the fall and sort of fell by the wayside over the winter. I was surprised to find them rooted and with decent new...

and now for something completely different: The "penis cactus" :-)) 1 cutting of each. The cutting of the long clone is probably 8" or more. The cutting of the clumping form is one "branch" section Both cuttings have the cut area callused and are ready for planting THESE ARE NOT FOR HUMAN...

I have this pretty large area of rock bed in the front of my house, with some large collector's boulders my dad I picked up some places years ago. I always thought it needed something more than rocks and a single gnarly-growing Texas sage bush, so late last fall/this winter, I have been steadily...

Hey folks! I just got some really gorgeous Tillandsia butzii and caput-medusae with an armored scale thrown in at no extra charge! I'm no entomologist, but from a quick look on the internet and in Garden Insects of North America they seem to be Diapsis echinocactus, or Cactus scale. I have...

The other day I saw a large cactus plant in a yard and stopped and talked with the owner. And got a couple of pieces. I do have a couple of this type, but do not usually seek out others as the tiny glochids are a pain to get out of your skin if you touch them by accident. This one was a...

I thought I'd share that I noticed a couple days ago a bloom forming on a cacti... Today I noticed it was really bit and a bit ago I noticed it was open. I ran out to take some pictures, and while doing so a spinx hummingbird month showed up flying circles around us... And eventually found...

Jeremiah Harris and I decided to check out the Harvard Museum of Natural History yesterday. There is a vast mineral collection on display as well as an array of stunning fossils, skeletons and Victorian era taxidermy specimens from around the world. In this diverse collection of natural wonders...

Obviously my main green thumb points toward growing CP's, but along with them are a few assorted other plants that grow in the greenhouse and around the home. A few succulents are included, such as the following cactus seedlings, which currently live right next to sundews and young Nepenthes...

My wife has been on me for several months now; the ground cover on the side of the house is too overgrown – it has to go. I put it off, as men often do…. But, I took a couple of weeks of “vacation” and she was quite instant that something had to be done. So I borrowed my buddy’s truck and...

What are the categories of moving, "Sensitive Plants" that aren't carnivorous? What are the categories of sensitive, moving plants that you know of, besides the carnivorous ones? They are neat because they are animal-like. I had some small, seedling sensitive plants that are native to the...

My "sunken bed" under construction. I am going to begin collecting and breeding Sarracenia on a massive level. I'll also be producing some seeds for the ICPS from this. So much empty space... Baby Drosophyllum D. x nagamoto Cleistocactus baumannii Pilosocereus azureus D. burmannii...

I purchased a Drosophyllum in a peat pot a few weeks ago and I plan to transplant it into a two feet diameter terra-cotta pot in the next few days. I just have a few questions before I put the plant into its permanent home. The previous inhabitant of the pot was a cactus (Hylocereus to be...

Hi guys! Just wanted to show y'all some of my cacti. I love them just about as much as my CPs. I've got probably close to 50 tropical kinds and most of the ones that are winter hardy to Georgia. Anyway, enjoy! Mammillaria fragilis Echinopsis subdenudata (and my cat!) Flower closeup...
