Maryland Cactus and Succulents

John from Maryland sends along a photo of his blooming Stapelia and a very nice Echinopsis hybrid.

Hello,
I just wanted to say hi, and share a couple of photos of my plants with you. I came across your site a while ago and check your blog often. I live in Salisbury Maryland…all the way across the country.

I have a lot of cactuses and succulents. We cannot grow many of them in the ground here (except some prickly pears) so I have to bring them in and out each summer.

Anyway, attached are 2 photos – the first is my favorite cactus. I cannot help but laugh at its beautiful shape. The second is a Stapelia gigantea. It had one flower so far this year. The flower was about 15 inches across and very stinky.

I love your blog. Next time I’m out that way, I’ll come into your shop.
