Exactly, they are a bit different and quirky! The ferox has thorns instead of spines, I love that, different from cacti. We both need more Euphorbias!!

That’s very cool!

Yes, more euphorbia for all!

Some semi-good news from yesterday.
I picked up some rescued chicks from a lady in town. Her son found them at the pond near their house.

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Those look like some nice chicks @KikiDeAnime! Glad they got saved!

I put them in with Chicken Nugget and even though he's older, he's been very nice to them.
I went to bring them inside last night and they were huddled underneath him

I know, me and TwoCrows have been derailing the thread too much lately, but I did promise photos of the new succulents in their new pots

Stapelia variegata

Stapelia hirsuta.
Decided to plant them in the same pot, but went with a spacious one. These are ground covers I read, so hopefully they will fill this pot it, because they look a bit…random in their pot right now.

I’m very excited!

I love the new Stapelias! I acquired an Huernia zebrina when I ordered some Haworthia/Haworthiopsis. Yours are a lot cuter than mine. I kind of kept my zebrina (well and the haworthias) in dry soil for too long after they shipped bare root. It was the first order I made and I didn't know what I was doing (not that I do now, but I *think* the plants have learned me some things since then, heh.)

I'll be super happy to see how yours are doing in a few weeks or whatever!

OMG, I love the Astros! I am always keeping my eyes out for one but never seem to find one. Yours look so healthy! I have one Gymnocalycium, you can see it in the first photo in the middle, I REALLY love these plants and want more of them! Beautiful flowers you've got going there on your Gymnos!! The Alien Plant, Monanthes polyphylla does go dormant in the summer heat and winter, it's got one last growth spurt growing now before it shuts down. Everything is starting to slow in growth now otherwise.

I brought my crew of cacti inside last week, it gets into the low 40sF about 6C at night now. I had some big growth on many of them, some a bit slower but they all did well, didn't lose any this year either! The only funky thing that happened was I used a fertilizer with too much nitrogen and my Rebutia krainziana grew a bit funky and fast. She has recuperated and has grown 4 new pups! The columns grew a couple of inches, ignore the funky color on the last photo, the Fairy Tale cactus is all green. All the plants have a funky color under that grow light. Oh and my Haworthia is waking up and has a growing flower! (If you look closely top, left of center you can see it. Some of my plants below...

You have such a cute plantfam, @TwoCrows! I always love to see them! I'm sure you've introduced us, but is the plant behind your Monanthes (in the 2nd pic) Adromischus cristatus? I really like the look of those. Of course I love your Euphorbia ferox, too. I can't believe you saved that from a department store! I think one of those Euphorbia trigonas could fit into my life somewhere. I was going to recommend those for that "special plant" we were looking for earlier, until I read they were mostly looking for outside growing ones.

Anyways, our diesel pickup got stolen and I kind of needed to take a break. But here we are . So sorry I missed all of this.

Oh no, what happened! Did you get it back?

Oh my, I love those! Please do share photos!
