Succulents

Ordered online, and it looks even better than in the photos! Just extraordinary - instantly became my favorite one in my collection!

Got these before my wife physically dragged me out of the venue to prevent me from buying any more ;)

Group pic above, and here are indiividual shots, filenames are the name of each plant:

The last two photos are both mammilarias - kinda neat how varied they can get within the same genus :)

These were the exhibition pieces, not for sale. Some impressive specimens there, in some cases I didn't even realize some of these can get so big...

The link is to an image gallery - embedding that many photos directly in the post is probably not the best idea.

I'll post my haul from the show later, I'm still on the train home :)

A lovely Mammillaria parkinsonii on the left, and a super cute Echinofossulocactus on the right, but I'm unsure of the species - maybe some experts here can help?

Anyway, love the way they look - lucky finds, both of them!

Update from last post. Steadily growing :)

Added a few new ones to the squad 😅 Will be relaxing a bit after having gotten these, feeling really happy with the diversity of what I have right now.

Some close ups:

I love the pseudolithos and the cute little conophytum in particular, but they are all great!

Here's another shot from a different perspective:

Does anyone know what kind of succulent this is? I've been calling it my tentacle plant, but it seems unlikely to be the official name. Thanks!

Trying this fancy cross-post function for the first time:

Found them online, and I'm super happy that they're now mine.

Group pic on top, and the bottom row from left to right are a really cute Mammillaria perezdelarosae, a Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus I decided to grow in water after my previous one suddenly and unexpectedly died on me for no discernible reason, and a Pseudolithos migiurtinus that looks like it came from space and I love it :)

...and I finally found one, so here it is! Love the coloration of this one - such a beauty!

Here's a group pic of the whole team:

Next target is a yellow one - saw a nice one online, but it was already bought by someone else, hope it can find another!

Went to a couple of succulent shops and farms today to get some rootstock for my grafting experiments (cue evil scientist laugh), but they didn't have any for sale, so I got these instead :)

Time to properly ID them and repot them into something prettier and more comfortable.

Edit: as far as I can tell, the purple one in the bottom left is a Sulcorebutia Rauschii Violacidermis, the other two (including the grafted one) are species of Frailea, the one in the bottom right is a Pelecyphora, and the succulent with beautiful red outlines is a Cotyledon. Do correct me if I'm wrong - in sure there are some expert cactus growers here.

First time we tried it., but it seems to have gone well - looking forward to them growing quickly (the teacher said most people are really surprised at how fast grafted cacti grow).

Bonus: my dog going "can I eat these?":

Was getting a lil’ too top heavy for my liking, so I decided it was about time.

Got it like this last year! Was one of my first plants. Love how much it’s grown.

I forgot to mention, that the picture is a bit old already (my bad).
