| hey cacti pals,
my question to you is, after dreaming about cacti and succulents all night every night, if you could have any species in the world , what would it be?
im sure you all have a list a mile lone, but i dare you to narrow it down to your favourite!!!
although they are common, my wish would be to have a huge garden fillen with echinocactus grusonii, really big ones, with babies reprducing everywhere,
Cheers,
Beck. |

That's a very difficult question as I like a lot of different species its hard to choose.
I would have to agree with you though the Golden Barrel is a superb cactus ,and is a favourite of mine. When I get my other computer up here from Adelaide I will post a pic of a Golden Barrel with lots of very large offsets.
I will have more of my "Garden visit" pics to show you. |

| Hi Guys - Mine would have to be a room full of exotic cichlids :)... but they are fish LOL!. So I guess if I had to choose a favourite plant - I'd say Ceropegia ampliata - closely followed by Alluaudia procera :). Cichlid. |

| Why not try a real plant for connoseurs Muiria hortenseae |

Ah, a mesembs man Didge?! Do you have any pics? I tried to hunt one down online and found a pic of someone's seedlings (looking like single green jellybeans - mmm lime, my favourite!), and a pencil drawing that looked quite exotic, though I'm sure nothing as good as the real thing!
Me, my aspirations are a tad more humble.. have an endless fascination with the wibbly wobbly wavy Stenocactus; the Melocactus' cephalium of flowers; anything with perfectly even ribs - Astrophytum, Notocactus, etc. But to choose a favourite of favourites is kinda hard and involves many mis-spent hours dribbling into my puter keyboard (3rd one this month :S ) whilst clicking through my wish list... though in the end I'll have to say and anything big and fat, preferably with red spines - eg Ferocactus stainesii with acanthodes and pringlii right behind. Incredible colour, fantastic looking plants all year round!!!!
Mmmmmmmmmmm... :D |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ferocactus stainesii

| An interesting array of "wishes" My wish would be a whole row of genuine Echeveria Subrigida. Heaven on earth. After 25years involvement I still dream about them every night and much "daydreaming" too. |

Hi
Tough question but I would have to say one of the Native OZ Ipomoea's probably muelleri that gets a really big tuber. an anthouse plant would be nice as well.

How about E.stenoclada Dave? I've lost two of the cuttings already ,got rained on too early, but two are still ok.
Will keep trying. |
