Lester Meyers collection

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.

Look weeds thats what lester said about all the little golden ball seedlings.

I am going back in spring that will be two tears since i was there last it will be interesting to see how things might have changed.

Has anyone seen a astrophytum myriostigma this tall i hadnt till this one check out the ornatums next. I love seeing potentially how large particular plants can grow too in cultivation in x amount of years gives you a goal to aim for.

Three large ornatums on the left and two nice feros on the right.

This is some of the inground stuff some more to come but stay tuned for the potted collection.

Ferocactus horridus these are as tall as me taller i think some were there are so many im six foot.

golden ball weeds, classic.
is that last one an uebalmannia (?) i had no idea they got that big. looks massive

I think that last one is a Ferocactus... maybe a large specimen of F. glaucescens?

I think you visited a property in Young Husband, on the bank of Murry River. I visited there in 2007.
The attached photo was taken in there, myriostgma, around 80 cm tall.
Hanazono

I think it is actually a echinocactus ingens

Ferocactus Claucescens. I have heaps of these three year old seedlings i grew.

Carnegiea gigantea

That saguaro is cool. It's not a species I've seen much of in cultivation here in oz. Such an iconic plant...

these photos are

in that photo with some huge notocactus there's a bright red spined ferocactus. Do you happen to know what it is?

The astrophytums are amazing

that big one with the narrow ribs and linear spination reminds me too of uebelmanias, fantastic plant too!
