| Here are photos of some of my collection; http://www.collectzing.com/objects.asp?whichpage=1&pagesize=20&collectionId=6043 The blank spots are plants that I haven't received yet, and if anyone can confirm identity of ones I don't know please feel free to let me know, thanks. |

| Very nice collection i like those astros. if you want you can change the name of your 'Echinopsis seminudus' to Echinopsis subdenudata, the correct name of the species. and i'm pretty sure you outbid me on that Euphorbia obesa from ebay (the one labelled 'Euphorbia ?' lol.. It is definitely a hybrid with some other Euphorbia. |

| Thanks for the kind comments. Ta Lewis for the correct name, sorry about the outbid, lol. And i agree with Lewis MichaelCactus, have a go at growing from seed, the members here are extremely helpful in this department. As soon as the weather warms up that's what I am going to do. So sick of seeing 'em on ebay and being outbid  |

| Good photos Vicki - give up eBay, as you pay far too much. Imagine the same cost will pay for 100 of the same seeds, or 10 different varieties and you will have 4-5 of each to watch grow... |

| Great places to get Succulents from are Paul Forster and Terry Tierney you can get Paul's list here and need to email Terry for his list from this site. http://www.cssnsw.org.au/buy.htm |
