I'm fairly new to the cactus world, and this was my 1st one. Yesterday morning, I went out to find it wasn't in it's pot. Apparently, one of my dogs got it, though it was afternoon when my husband finally found it. Dogs are fine, so no idea who did it, but my cactus is not! 😭 Is there any way it will survive this? If so, how do I care for it? I'm guessing the wounds make it susceptible to pests as well?
Getting back into painting after a year or so. This is one of my favorites from 2022.
I got these from a friend. Dug them up from her beds but it was Fall, so I didn't know how many types until they bloomed. The 1st pink has yellow/peach toward the inside, the 2nd pink is all pink. Thank you in advance for help!
Found this painted pyro piece in my photos and thought, "why not?" This was a dream wherein the banana staircase went both directions at once. The ends are portals. I had to get some kid through the right portal. I wasn't too skilled at drawing or Pyrography then, this was a few years ago, so I couldn't quite show it properly. Probably my 1st piece of "trippy" art. 😂
Got this one potted a couple days ago. This is my 2nd Loph purchase. My first was an LW Northern, so am I correct that this is LW Northern caespitosa? Also, 3 of the pups fell off, but had roots, so I potted them together in the little Lowe's bucket pot for now. Will that be OK for them? Thanks!
I meant "questions". Can't type. This little guy was my 1st cactus, which I got in March. It looked like the 1st photo, but it had no id. Is it an Echinopsis Oxygonia? Gave it a good watering, since the areoles were brown. I repotted it in April, & treated it with d.e., because I moved it outside. (2nd photo). Someone said the brownish mark was a fungus, but it looks more like a scar to me? It hasn't spread. A few days ago, the wind knocked it over, so I repotted it in better draining mix & bigger pot. I intend to leave it alone now, it's been through a lot. The areoles are lightened up now, however, there's a black dot on it. (3rd photo). Are these 2 spots ones I should be treating, or is it good for now?
Made this a couple years ago when I was still messing around with resin. I have a toad/frog wall in my living room & I made it to go on a shelf there.
Hope this is allowed, I thought it was funny. I was cleaning some pea gravel to pot & repot my LW's. Stopped for a bit, and this guy jumped in for about a minute. Not exactly helpful, so I'll be redoing it tomorrow.
This cute little American toad was kind enough to let me get a couple photos this morning before hopping away. (The white powder is food grade D.E. on the ground, not poison.) W KY US
Saw on a recent creek walk. Not a great photo, it was mid-day. W KY
These came from irises my grandmother had fir as long as I can remember, which is a long time, haha. I've had them for almost 20 years now. I hope they keep getting passed on and growing for generations to come.
