The "crest' in it's name refers to the abnormal distortion in the growth which is not typical of the species... Crested cacti seldom produce flowers of any significance. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 11227 | From: Cedar Hill Washington | Registered: Aug 2002  |  Logged: 209.179.168.15 <Gigi> guests posted                 That second one looks like a heavy~duty piece of lettuce!! Hey Catlover, How ya been? I've been peaking in on you!! How many more "cactus's did you get? Nice pictures Bill!!! Gigi Logged: 24.54.84.61 catlover The Cheetah!

I am usually in a rush to get somewhere and it is closed by the time I get back! Darn. I WILL GET THERE!!! then watch out! bbbbbbbbb Posts: 7129 | From: California | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Logged: 68.66.244.5 plants 'n pots Garden Pro! Member # 1672 posted                       I lived in Reno, Nevada for 7 years and didn't fully appreciate the beauty of cacti then. Now that I'm back in NY I buy them whenever I can! Which isn't as easy as it sounds - there aren't too many places that have a good variety of healthy plants. I did spend an hour in the new Ikea store nearby in Paramus, NJ last Thursday and managed to get 5 nice sized cacti. Of course they just had generic labels, so I have no idea what I got. Some day soon I hope to get a digital camera, and then I'll bother you all for IDs, ok? Do you have any more pictures of cacti - I love seeing the many varieties.

Does that cactus and succulent nursery in Vista still exist?? I need to make a pilgrimage to North County & see what they have. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 409 | From: Los Angeles - Hollywood Hills | Registered: Oct 2003  |  Logged: 67.123.40.237 catlover The Cheetah! Member # 654 posted                       I believe so....but don't know for sure! Let me know how it is and if they have a big variety!!!! I like to just get the little starters and watch them grow....some VERY slowly!lol I plant most in the ground full sun but then Bill got me hooked on several other kinds but they need more shade!!!! He isn't helping my addiction at all! The local garden shops don't carry many right now and Mrytle Creek not selling any right now either! Let me know what you find! bbbbbbbbb Posts: 7129 | From: California | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Logged: 68.66.244.5 jc2weho Heaven's Gardener Member # 1554 posted                       Catlover, Shade-loving succulents & cacti were a surprise to me. I have all my lithops in the shade as well as some senecios & hoyas, now. They let you know right away when they don't like the sun. Of course, if I'd known of The Garden Helper a year ago, I'd have had less trial-and-error! bbbbbbbbb Posts: 409 | From: Los Angeles - Hollywood Hills | Registered: Oct 2003  |  Logged: 63.205.40.206 papito Super Gardener Member # 1346 posted                       Plants 'n Pots, How about looking at this link for more pictures of Cacti? http://www.infochembio.ethz.ch/links/en/botanik_kakteen.html bbbbbbbbb Amor est vitae essentia.
