Sya hello to my san pedro cactus. this thing is the fastest growing plant ever. it stand about my height. 6'2" I need to get a picture with this handsome fellow



this fellow is pretty slow growing on the other hand but is sure to get bigger ovver time. anyone got an ID on this one?



one of many of my variegated americana agave.


some baby agave that "produced"... along with an old prickly pear plant I recovered in background.

Cool pics Frito. I wish I was better at IDing things for you.

Those plants are so COOL!

In the second picture there is a little cactus growing next to the railing, I think I have one like that...Do you know what the name of it is????

Yes, I'm interested in that one too. Are the leaves like little prickly pear pads or are they more leaf-like?

I do not know the name of the little one in the second pic on the ground. I bought it in a small 2" pot and it grew really fast that last year. then it got mealy bugs on it and I tried everything to keep helthy and pest free.(sprayed with alcohol etc.) I half way suceeded but had to cut it down a lot. The stalk and pads are really succulent like a prickly pear.

here it is last summer:

Thank-you. that looks like opuntia maverick maybe. Like a minature prickly pear.

The one I have is ?I think opuntia something, Or maybe not? Mine stays in the house and proable would look differently if it was outdoors or recieved more sun.

Comfrey that looks almost like the Mousetail I bought last week.

I'm not sure, as I have looked at hundreds of photos, and not been able find anything close, and since it has been in the same pot for ages and neglected, It may look different when care for better.

comfrey, It sorda looks like multiple Opuntia chaffeyi cactus plants.

I think It may be opuntia sublata-Eva's Pin, But I have only been able to find one picture online.

comfrey I think your cactus may be opuntia chaffeyi
This is a great place to go to ID cacti

My first picture is actually peruvian torch. a cousin to the san pedro.

my second picture in a Saguaro.
