I took those pics at the show last year and now, it is almost time for the show again. It is in November and I'll be going with my camera again, hopefully I can get some better pics or at least different ones.

The sale held outside the show is always really tempting, I have to show restraint this year, I don't have room for more.

I really like the Haworthia, the ones I bought last year are still living (which is my first test) and seem to be growing although slowly.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.

We saw this unique cactus at Zilker Botanic Gardens, Austin today. I would love help identifying it! Thanks!

Is it more round or more columnar in shape? If round, it could possibly be a species of Astrophytum. But there are a number of other possibilities. Do you have a shot of the entire plant?
I garden for the pollinators.
