Espostoa for sure, maybe lanata. Melanostele has a more rounded, whiter appearance.

You are not a pain! Sorry to hear about the demise of your plants but even sorrier to hear you were on chemo. How are you doing now? I'd be happy to send you some new plants to start a new collection. Can you post your email address so we can communicate? Here's mine if you'd like.

The first two letters are lowercase "L's" not number ones. What kind of succulents or cacti do you like?

lcadena, you are a very nice person!
nccactuslady, good luck with your plants & I hope any remaining treatment you've got goes more smoothly.

I have at least 4 more treatments and hopefully will be in remission by then. I seriously think the chemo is worse than the disease but if having cancer spared just one child from NOT having it then it's all been worth it.
My email addy is YorkiePaws@gmail.com.
And yes I do have a Yorkie... given to me as a gift when I was diagnosed with cancer.. she's 3 yrs old and blind. Her name is Hope.
