looks like an Echinocereus of some sort. guessing E. coccineus. take a look around the Echinocereus section of http://cactiguide.com/
it has lots of great pictures of many cacti.

that's not a cactus, it's a succulent. it looks like some kind of haworthia, probably haworthia reinwardtii var chalumnensis. it's in the asphodeliaceae family. they throw up neat little white flowers on thin stalks.

thank you, thank you. i was thinking about looking for something like this just the other day while working in the herbarium.

the university of oklahoma is where i'm at. i'll probably do grad school here too.

i'm now in contact with a cactus conservation group out of texas. they have given me some ideas of where to start. i would still appreciate other people's input as well.

i'm in oklahoma. i'm looking into what is going on exactly with the cacti population around here. there are a few cacti species in the sw part of the state. i can do field research, lab work, or just write a 30 page paper.

hello to all.

so i have to start thinking about research for my senior capstone. i want to do something with cacti conservation. i'm taking suggestions and will appreciate any and all input.

thanks

 

actually this is my last chem class that i'm required to take :cry:  after this semester it's almost all botany classes with some anthro classes mixed in for fun!

back from class with a spikey new friend! i love that class! i got to bring home a couple pereski cuttings. it will be a nice addition to all my other little friends. thanks for the welcome... off to study o chem!

let me introduce myself... i joined this forum awhile back but got a little sidetracked with school and what not. i love plants of all kinds but cacti have a special place in my heart.      i'm in school for botany right now, only a year and a half left! well, i guess this wasn't much of an introduction but i have to run off to class now. in my flowering plants lab today we talk about cacti! i'm very excited!

laters...
