It is a transplant from a pot I had at my old house--it's probably 10 years old now. It will be interesting to see if the flowers look like this. Hope so!<br />AiyanaAiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36010671.post-47795111570254917422009-08-26T11:14:38.177-05:002009-08-26T11:14:38.177-05:00Interesting night bloomer - I wonder if its bat po...Interesting night bloomer - I wonder if its bat pollinated ....Hort Loghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732036923234582077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36010671.post-18397917228179643522009-08-24T22:52:48.012-05:002009-08-24T22:52:48.012-05:00Ooooh...pretty.

I ...Ooooh...pretty.<br /><br />This will perk you up I bet --<br />I got a private appointment at Yucca Do nursery in Giddings, TX. and toured their greenhouses full of hardy cacti! I placed my order online, then he had it ready for me when i got there, plus whatever else i might find that I wanted.<br />Wade, the owner is very nice and very knowlegable. He has zones and rainfall charts on his site, so I did extensive research before I made my selections, then after i got there he was VERY honest about what would do well in our zone 7 and 7b area, how much rainfall, etc. My order was already quite extensive, so I didn't make any impulse buys after I got there.<br />It was a GREAT experience! You should do it!<br /><br />Some things on my list:<br />Agave Bractosa<br />Aloe Aristata<br />Drimiopsis Maculata<br />Echeandia Texensis<br />Echinocactus Texensis<br />Echinocereus Setispinus<br />Echinocereus Triglochidiatus<br />Ferocactus Hematacanthus<br /><br />The site is yucca do dot com<br /><br />v.antveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002643296851868717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36010671.post-79763159683471955932009-08-24T16:03:34.539-05:002009-08-24T16:03:34.539-05:00Cereus(ly) beautiful, Claude.
