| Hi cactus and succulent fans in Australia! I’m a collector in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Quite a few species of cactus and succulents are native to our state, such as Echinocereus fendleri, v. kuenzleri, Peniocereus greggii, Fouquieria splendens and Agave lechuguilla.
Anyway,what are some of your favorite plants? I have too many, but some of my favorites are ferocactus and agaves.
Take care. |

| What's up 'Dogg? Good to hear from you. I despise that slimy, beady-eyed little weasel dubya and voted against him. But let's avoid talking politics and stick to more fun subjects like cacti! Yes, rebutias and mamms are pretty cool. Lately I've been getting into caudiciforms, like Bursera and Pachycormis. Thanks for writing, and take care. |

| no probs...so whats the weather like over there? its 2weeks away from summer here, and its been non-stop rain for the last 2 months! im sick of this wet depressing weather- give me sunshine any day. my cacti have been waiting for ages to get some good sun, but instead are almost freezing to death on the window sill. anyways, keep it real!

| Yo Dogg! Well, the weather here has been pretty seasonal, i.e., chilly mornings, mild afternoons, but this weekend is supposed to get downright cold. High chance of snow, high temps barely climbing out of the 30's, lows in the low 30's (fahrenheit). That's great that you're heading into summer in Oz! Here in ABQ, we have a long winter ahead of us. Oh well, I can't complain too much, because I'll be going to Tucson, Arizona next week. It's always warmer there than ABQ. Hasta! |

cool. i was thinking 30's was hot (cos we go by celsius here), but i guess 30F is like 0 over there-? anyway, arizona sounds cool- i mean, warm ;-P. had a massive storm here last night, but its been a way hot day today luckily. so...how many cacti do u have? r u a major cactus fan, or just enjoy them?
Joeldogg ;-) hasta la vista as arnie would say... |

| I know, being an American, celsius completely baffles me! I have about 140 different cacti and succulents, and I'm seriously running out of space! I'm definitely a cactus nut, but I like a lot of other plants too, especially plants from desert climes. How about you? |
RE: Hello from USA

| 140! woah, waaaay more than me. i have like 15. not much hey? i have a notocactus, astrophytum, mammarilla, and other hybrid and grafted cacti. im only at the start of my collecting, but its fun. still need a long time to collect anywhere near 100. Joeldogg ;-) |
RE: Hello from USA

| Joeldogg- Once I built my greenhouse, I had the perfect excuse to acquire more plants. Except now my collection is outgrowing the greenhouse too. I have scaled back a little bit, but I'll be buying more in Tucson soon! I have a lot of Ferocactus, various columnar species, as well as a lot of opuntias, hedgehogs, etc. I also have too many palms, oleander, a fig tree, mexican lime, boojum, yuccas, agaves, palo verde... It's kind of an addiction! Bye for now. |
