Hi all, Need some help with my mystery plant. It is probably/perhaps a Gleditsia but I do not know what sp? Anyone with a hint? Please look into my Flickr...
May be slightly off topic. Looking for seeds of various US plant generas. Yucca filamentosa/flaccida, gloriosa and recurvifolia with provenance. Species of...
These survived at least 12*F and have been there several years. I took the picture inside so the flash went off and caused them to be too light. Also the fuzzy...
I saw the cactus at a resturant and went in and ask if I could buy a pad. The lady was kind enough to let me have one. They were in north Georgia zone 7. <a...

Over wintering requires time to dry out allowing cacti to shrivel up a bit. KEEP DRY. GOOD AIR FLOW unless you have to cover. Dry out before covering. Richard...
just to second this piece of advice. Absolutely important, even for cold-hardy cacti. Here in western Illinois I'm successfully keeping quite a few O. fragilis...
If these are from seed just sown at the beginning of August I thinkit would be difficult to overwinter them outside, at least that's my experience here in...
Unfortunately, my basement runs closer to 70. Though it's unfinished, the venting running through the basement to feed heat upstairs radiate enough heat that...
i havent grown much cactus seed, but i'd also tend to keep them under milder conditions the first winter, esp since they are so young--many growers of tender...

Can someone suggest the hardiest subspecies, form, or variety of Agave parryi? I want to try this plant outdoors in a raised bed. Any comments on growing...
