Thought it best to start a thread that' just for Cacti and Succulents, rather than putting them on the what's looking good thread and getting in the way of other flowers.

I'll post about what's happening at the moment, upcoming cacti events and the odd video. Feel free to plunge in with any questions and of course your own Cacti and Succulents

Hahaha! Maybe! At least named for one!!! I researched. It was named for Henry George Flanagan, (1861 - 1919) A South African botanist and plant collector.
