coolcactusdood Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 my computer sucks, so I'll do my best posting these, maybe not today, but they are cool!as for cacti, I'm not sure what grows in california, but I have some wild ones from Arizona, one state over. Only opuntias and cylindropuntias. I do have many dozens of types of prickly-pear cacti, which one can eat which taste like green-beans when young pads are chopped, and have delicious fruit on them as well (plus make an amazing fence at my house).As for the pricklypears, my collection ranges from spineless-brutally spiny, including a gentle one covered in "fur", colors ranging from red, purple, blue, and green pads, sizes ranging from three inch pads- nearly two feet tall pads! Plus monstrous and josephs coat, which I would not personally eat myself. Anyways before I get too excited, there are a few succulents which also grow locally which I have; the dudleyas, pickleweeds, and there are others I have yet to discover which I will add.I'll post pics when I can!

mutant Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Many people here will love the shots of succulents in the wild, so please do share when you find the time!I would also love to see your Opuntia collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcactusdood Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Well they're not necessarily "wild" I've potted them, or planted them in the ground, but they are beautiful plants, though I can't tell you what most of them are called.I have just added some recently, which are flowering, though may not have taken well to transplantation from the wild. (the local estuary)It's fathers day weekend, and all, and I'll try to figure out the picture thing as soon as I can get it figured out! plus after my trip, I'll get some cool cacti around the road.
