Cactus lovers/growers?

Fredwina, that is gorgeous! Is that a mammillaria?

The flower buds are substantially larger now, and I'm expecting them to open any day....can't wait to see what the flowers look like! I will take pictures when the first bloom opens.

I think so!

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I think so too.

I believe mine is a:

gymnocalycium saglione, and if so it will have pale pink flowers.

I saw one blooming today, can't wait for you to see what it does.

I got a few plants to put on my desk at work. I bought some quartz this time and there is a little froggy in there plus I added some rocks I found in our own flowerbed (after I took the picture).

Going counter clockwise: the pink blooming thing is Euphorbia milli ("Crown of Thorns") a native of Madagascar, the little short greyish-purple succulent is Echeveria ("Blushing Bride"), the dark succent with a bonus tag along is Gasteria and the bonus is Escheveria and the last one just said Euphorbia.



I also got this plant for my Mammaw for Mother's Day. She is a big fan of unique plants and plants that produce new plants. This one fits both bills because it shoots off stalks that the nursery owner said you can put a pot under to let root and viola you have another plant. Tag says it is a Kolanchoe.



I love this succulent nursery because if you spend more than $10 you get a free small plant. Last time it was this guy, I think it is in the agave family.



This time it was this plant.
