Just got back from my yearly trip to visit family in the USVI, and snapped a few pictures while I was there. Here are some selections of the cacti and succulents for you to enjoy. Hopefully the image codes work, I'm an html noob. |

| Andrew: The third plant is an episcia and it is not a succlent. It is a gesneriad and should be grown much like streptocarpus and African violets. I wick water mine. Epicsia like high humidity and will not do well without it. We supplement heat with a woodstove and I have to run a humidifier to keep mine happy. Many people grow them in large brandy snifters or goldfish bowls. Linda PS: Murd: Thank you so much for sharing the photos. I really enjoyed them. And, the first, sixth and 11th are especially beautifully taken. |

| The episcia was an odd one out, but I liked it so much I decided to share anyway. As for the fourth picture, I'm not actually sure what it's called. We grew it from a chunk of something picked up across island a while back. Glad you enjoyed them Linda, I enjoyed taking them. |
