Hello,

My name is Lars-Arne and I live in Falkenberg, Sweden 100km south of Gothenburg on the west coast. I have a small collection of both cacti & succulents. Most of the cacti are hardy and are kept in an unheated greenhouse, some, mostly Opuntia are planted in a well drained bed on the south side of the house. I cover some of them with glass in the winter. The weather here are mostly wet winters on or just below 0, in February the temp will sometimes fall below -20, the summers can be very rainy and also hot and dry. The altitude is 15m above the sea. I don't have a camera yet but I will the the pictures as soon as possible.

Hi

All the plants survived the winter, however the Sclero had to be regrafted
cause the Opuntia died during the winter. It has begun to grow.
Both Pedios are flowering.
