    Well here is some of my collection, theres some that I have no clue what they are because I got them from supermarkets like walmart that dont label. If you know even what group they are in that would be helpfull, I know its hard to give an exact name. Well anyways here goes...

    Heres my century plant that Iv had since I was seven.

    This is some weird brain plant that iv had for about 6 years now.

    This plant iv only had for about 8 months
    [​IMG]
    Not sure how long iv had this plant but its been around a while

    This plant is probably one of my favorites but its starting to sprout babies every where and it doesnt look as normal as when i first got it. Id like to know how to take the sprouts off and replant them.

    and thats the last of them, all except my jade plant and some rat tail that are not looking good right now due to some pesky squirrels

    Hi there. I'm not great at IDing exact species yet, but I've got groups! :)

    1. Agave sp., possibly Agave americana

    2. I don't know the ID but it is a common Wal-mart crested cactus..someone else should probably have it for you..

    3. Mammillaria sp.

    4. Opuntia sp.

    5. Adromischus cristatus, carefully remove any offsets including roots and plant them in a new pot.

    6. Astrophytum ornatum

    2. is a mutant variant of Cereus sp. (probably Cereus peruvianus...), so my tip is: Cereus peruvianus f. monstrosus
    3. Mammillaria elongata
    4. Cylindropuntia sp.

    Whatever they are called, you have a wonderfully diverse collection.
