I have quite a few of them, but seeing as they never have been my main interest, I don't have pics of them, and many don't have names! That's what happens when orchids take over your life!

Ruh-roh! I couldn't stop myself! I see trouble on the horizon!
Picked these two up at Lowe's this morning...along with a new plant rack for this collection. I'll post a pic when it's put together  I was surprised to see a bunch of new succulents and cacti there, lots of species 
Cassula perforata variegata and 'Golden Ball' Notocactus leninghausii...the bright blue blooms just screamed my name! |

LOL...that's not the real bloom for the plant 
It's how the stores get your attention...the real blooms on this will be yellow |

 I was sure there are no cacti with such a bloom, but don't have my references with me. The only problem with this practice is it leaves small holes in the cactus that later on leave scar tissue. I personally never purchase these. But this is a great idea. There are some great cacti and succulent boards out there for those wanting more in-depth help or info. |

Hi Ross 
Do you suggest a particular reference book for me to get? I'm getting lots of info on the web but I would really like to have at least one book on these guys...preferably with care instructions, photos and descriptions.
Thanks |

Be careful when purchasing from Lowe's Suzanne. Sometimes they glue straw flowers on top of their cactus plants.  |

Woops, you already know about that. Looks like I should have read more posts before putting in my  Sorry. |
