nice rock placement.

I bet your garden as a whole is fucking epic.

I can't wait to do what you do man.

You should really make Seed with what you can.

Are Cacti diecious or monecious? sorry if spellings off.

If the flowers are perfect flowers, why not make seed?

just curious.

paint brushes are the best for spreading pollen

no damage

more please, MORE!

short answer,it takes a long ass time to grow a cactus.
cactus flowers are typical in that they have male and female bits in each flower.
i suppose if i had a cactus house i might be more interested in breeding them,but for now i let the ripe fruits fall where they may and let nature take its course,if they re-seed into the yard thats fine,if some critter eats them,also good in my book.

yeah,the yard as a whole is something to see i think,especially now that a good bit of it is well established and thriving,most of the plants were in one gallon nursery pots when i got them and many of them are just huge now.i really have no idea how many plants are in the garden,i cant even remember what they all are anymore,theres gotta be close to 200 plants....an expensive hobby but it sure looks nice...
