Been building a new Cactus house

When I sell them I tell customers not to keep them by their bedside and not to leave them anywhere near their smartphones. Especially if they've left Amazon open

 

I found one hiding in the tractor shed

 

Cactus dancing or attacking? I’ve had a huge inside cactus snag the dogs tail it scared her so much she didn’t budge an inch til her tail feathers were untangled. Collies ya know are so gentle. I think she was afraid she would get in trouble . Then again the deer have totally eaten an entire hardy cacti bed in the garden. Prickles and all.

 

Could be attacking, they've slapped Captain Neemoil a few times in the past

 

Parodia magnifica came out today

 

Cousin It is REALLY knocking himself out blooming this year. He didn't bloom at all last year and only about 3 blooms the year before.

 

Looking good Annie Hopefully get some seed pods later.

I just went out into the cactus house in the dark, the vestitas have pushed Captain Neem Oil half over since this morning

 

They have The Captain's number !!

 

They're not taking any chances with him

 

I took a pic of the regular hahniana so you could compare the flowers to Cousin IT's

 

Cousin It has smaller petals and they aren't frilly, just rounded, smaller and have light pink tips.

 

Not a clue then Annie

I'm the first one out of the cactus growers that I chat with to get the Matucana polzii to flower



It normally just spends it's time making loads of pups

 

Cousin It may have just beamed down and said "Take me to your Austrocylindropuntia"

Echinopsis crassicaulis has started to flower

 

@Zigs He was in a pot in Walmart on sale for half price. He may have asked for "Austrocylindropuntia" but he got the shaft !!
