You not only have a very good collection of cacti, you also know how to preserve the memories. Brillian photography brother, enjoyed watching the pics and watched them many times. Thanks for sharing these beauties.

Could you please name the camera and lens used... any filter?
regards

Nice.. maybe we can work something out..What about Haworthias and Gasterias..the jewels of succulent world ?? any interest in them

[omerkhalid]

Well i am afraid i find them way too complicated, i mean i wont be able to coup with so much interests at a time, i have had such an exerience in collecting postage stamps so i would for the time being stick with succelents and cacti and then i have got interest in flowering / fragrant plants, bulbous plants and vines

Hahahaha, you will with time sink into this hobby so much that you will want each and every plant, we have many vines and bulbous plant enthusiasts here...just browse the forum and discover more

Khalid sb, would you like to share pictures of your Agaves with us? They are usually very difficult to identify because they don't produce flowers so easily. If you are sure of their IDs, we will add pictures in our database for future reference and for other gardeners. Here is our database: http://www.gardeningpakistan.com/viewforum.php?f=37

Thanks.

Ok M Farooq sb i would love to share the pictures and yes you are right i am also net very sure about some of them and would be happy to share them so that their names are confirmed. I see that we have only a fraction of varieties available here in Pakistan so i would try to acquire small specimen from abroad, i guess we can ask someone to slip in a handful of plants in their luggage and hope that they survive the trip, any tips on how to make sure that they are able to live through their journey
