Doug's Collection
WINTER STORAGE: During the colder months typically late October through mid April all the cacti and succulents are stored in Doug's home in a spare bedroom. No watering takes place during the winter causing the plants to go dormant. The next time they receive water is when they are placed back out side where they are watered by rain.
CHIN CACTUS: This cactus is called a Gymnocalycium Saglionis. It has been in my collection for over 14 years and blossoms each summer.
HYBRID CACTUS: These are the hybrid echinopsis that originated from one cactus. The mother plant is about to blossom and they open at night.
PARODIA TURECEKIANA: This type of cactus blooms mid to late afternoon and closes after about 3 hours but will reopen 2 or 3 more days. These multiplied by seed from the mother plant.
ECHINOPSIS EYRIESII / EASTER LILY CACTUS: This variety of echinopsis produces pure white blossoms which open at night and last until mid morning. I describe the scent as sweet lemony.
ECHINOPSIS HYBRID: Another night blooming echinopsis with a light pink color. All of these originated from one cactus that multiplied from "pups" which are smaller cacti that form at the base of the plant.
