Here are photos of some of my collection;

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.

Awsome Vicki! Your Astro's are so awsome. Seems everyone has heaps more then me:(

Vicki nice collection you have going

Hmm we seem to have quite a few with the same names............

Keep collecting + grow some from seed!

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.

Yep... the only thing required here is patience. But don't give up on ebay entirely though, give it the odd browse now and then, on the odd (alas increasingly unusual) occasion you can pick up a bargain there.

may I be the forth person to complement your astros! very nice

Betty most of my astro's come from Paul and Terry lmao. Took a lot of surfing the net to find em, but when i did the bank account sure suffered

Hey Vicki I sure know what you mean, I have hit Terry and Paul quite a few times and the ol' bank balance sure goes suffer

Just waiting till spring to get some more from both

I just emailed Terry Tierny about his plant list. What's the normal price for Asterias and Capricorne?

Astro asterias $12
A. asterias fma nudum $14
Asterias cv superkabuto range from $15 to $35

A. capricorne v. crassispinoides x A. capricorne $6-10
A. capricorne x A. capricorne v. major $6-10
capricorne x superkabuto $15
capricorne x superkabuto nudum $12-16
As you can see by my photos his plants are all good looking, healthy ones, well worth the money, I think anyway, lol.

Cool Vicki, great prices, im deffinetly going to see about spending some cash when it starts to warm up.

I like your collection of H. truncatas especially that hybrid that looks like a morghanii, do you know what it's crossed with?

Thanks prier, it's not morghanii, I have yet to purchase one of them. Alas I do not know what it is crossed with
