Hi !

Welcome to my photo blog about succulents, and some cacti thrown in for good measure.

Along with photos, I will provide scientific/common names and information on their culture. Please, do not consider the information I provide as an authoritative source. It is from what I know about these plants, and I am NOT an expert! The cultural information is based on my experience in growing succulents and cacti in a tropical environment (Hawai'i) which is by no means an ideal climate for these plants.

Also, for you photography buffs (like me), I will provide pertinent camera data for the photos. All photos in this blog are SOOC (straight out of camera) and not post processed, except for downsizing and/or cropping.

Thanks for visiting!

Lobivia wrightiana var. winteriana

Lobivia wrightiana var. winteriana, syn.
Echinopsis backebergii var. winteriana, blooming in April. Nikon D300, Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8D.

A nondescript looking cacti (like many) with very striking, hot-pink springtime blooms. Thus far, it has stayed very compact, and seems very suitable for small pot culture. Offsets freely.
