Forum seems poorly misrepresented by succulents which I also enjoy growing. I know there are others out there - it's time to come out of the closet! I'm pretty happy with this arrangement which I finished recently... It began with the Haworthia in the middle which was given to my wife as a gift and I dutifully rescued. I slowly added to the collection over the last year - some acquired and some purchased. Final touches were a couple of sprigs of Crassula from a member to match the bigger one and complete the symmetry.

So I recently visited the kind and caring Cok Grootscholten in Netherlands and enjoyed the company of his ridiculously sexy as all hell nursery. He's been collecting cacti since 1952 and fuck.... No words just wet dreams, again I didn't want to leave and struggled not to kiss every cacti that he owned. Not only was his nursery beautiful, but he was willingly giving me cactuses that I would've either had to pay much money for or killed to get, for free. Even offered me a cutting of his crested lophophoa.... (which we decided not to because it was winter and we didn't want the cactus to die). He said that he was happy to do it because he knew one day I would do the same to another young cactus lover..... :') ( bless his soul) Not only this, but he gave me a pup of a rare Gymnocalycium brucii that had dark flowers (which supposedly in longer exists in the wild?) sowed by the one and only Alberto Vojtech Fric himself back in 1935... ANYWAY TIME FOR PHOTOS BECAUSE THEY EXPLAIN BETTER THAN WORDS! GET YOUR TISSUE BOX READY!!!!!! That last photo is what keeps the greenhouse warm during the winter. There was still so much more that I didn't take photos of......

I took the photos late in the afternoon so the flowers are closed. It produces lots of seeds per flower & like to grow in sand. I've looked everywhere & cannot ID it. Anyone know what it is?

Looking for a Conophytum cordatum (I think) It's the "Love Heart" shaped succulent, think it'd be nice to give as a present to mademoiselle This is a link to http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/CONOPHYTUM/Conophytum_cordatum/Conophytum_cordatum/Conophytum_cordatum.htm'>the cactus I'm talking about! I only really have a small amount ethno seeds to trade (if someone wants to trade) But I'm also down to pay! Can anybody help?
