Now this is exciting.....The photographs below are two cacti species that I started from seed around the first of November. I purchased "Gymnocalycium tillanum" from Mesa Gardens in Belen, New Mexico. The other seeds came from the Notocactus haselbergii here at Death Valley Shack. I had written an entry March 4, 2011 that the Notocactus was blooming and there were a few seeds on it that I would try and grow. That is them in the picture below. To me the cactus seedlings look like little alien or sea creatures.

It was not as difficult as I thought it would be, but the out come was not as high as I thought either. I'll have to do some tweaking on the next group which I'm planting up in the next couple of days.
