Now *that* is a cactus garden! And it really is damn near all cacti too... I only see a handful of non-cacti species in the mix.

Yes mainly cacti although there are some succulents about 90% cacti though. Lester turns 70 this year although you woulndt know he looks more like late fifties early sixties. He has been collecting most of his live so there is alot of knowlegde he has gained and he is always willng to share.

Awesome!

You got close ups of the feros and was it some biggy stenocacti that I saw in there too?

Some nicer photos to come im just warming it up he has a beautiful inground collection under cover it will blow your mind ill do more pics tomorrow.

GO LESTER!!! that is the most awesome collection of cacti i have ever seen!!!

Great story too cactuscook!!! Keep em coming

wowww that is so special, its like a fairytale fantasy land all so packed in there.
i wnt to visit lester this year as we were travelling through nsw, so went out west way, which was surprisingly fertile and much less depressing than i thought it would be ... i contacted lester and we drove to gilgandra, slept out beside some railway tracks so we could be there in the morning. we got there and waited... and waited... but he had taken ill and wasnt able to meet us or contact us. so very disapointing as i dont know when i am likely to get there again. but i was relieved to hear he was ok as it was a bit of a worry not knowing what had happened to him.
thanks heaps for the photos and please do put up as many as you like!!!

Cool, Thanks for the pics

Infront of the melos are some fero chrysacanthus flowering these are the biggest ive ever seen maybe the largest in aust.

I have nearly used up my flikr account for the month so ill only put another five or so pics until next month. SORRY

You can upload pics to the forum itself you know...

I have not tried that i might have to is it easy.

It's not too tricky, once you get used to the process. If you click on the little icon that looks like a 3 1/2 inch floppy disk in front of a photo and follow the steps from there, you should be able to upload your photos to the site.

Where it says save in i get stuck. Ill try another time. So ill just vstick to what i know for now as im not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to computers im still on dial up for one more week cant wait for my broadband that will probably be a pain to set up to so im getting someone to do it for me.
