Cactus lovers/growers?

I can't believe this is what you PNW do with your overabundance of rain.

ps I have a cactus garden too- but only because my mom thinks I love them. I also have a delightful aloe plant growing in a starbuck's mug.

Too funny! Take some pictures and post them here!

Here are some photos of my agave. Had to use the camera phone, as my batteries in the digital camera are somehow MIA.



And one from a few feet back. The pot it is in is really cool but I don't know if you can tell it has a Palm Tree on it. I have a thing for Palm Trees.




I would like to get more cacti/succulents for the backyard, but I would have to fence them in. One of our dogs in blind and I am pretty sure she would injure herself.

Amanda, that agave is really pretty big! Looks like you did a nice potting job on it. I love the creamy white in it.

Here is my Pilocereus glaucochrous ("Wooly Torch"). I love the soft white "fur" that looks like troll hair- but there are sharp spines hidden in it!

I am not into the cacti, but do find some quite interesting. Have collected quite a lot of succulents though.

I love the variety of leaf shape and colours of the succulents, and they can look quite spectacular in the right pot. Have been successful in propagating some in half sand/half potting mix and have given them away as gifts (in attractive pots). One bonus - if I forget to water them they don't drop dead quickly!
