			<description>My name is Shmuel and I live in Jerusalem Israel with my wife and kids and lots of plants. Cacti are, of course, the primaryfocus and I was amazed to count (for my vote in this forum) and found I had about 35 Mammillarias. Even more if you count separate pots of the same species.



I moved to Israel from Los Angeles in 1981. My work was landscape design and I had hundreds of xerophytes. Now I am slowly rebuilding my collection...



I must say, one frustrating thing about cactus in Israel is  ...</description>

			<description>Hello,

my name is Ralf and I'm 42 years old. I'm living in Germany and collect cacti more than 20 years. Mammillaria is one of my favorite genus but not the only one I like specially. My first contact with cacti was very early in my life. My Mom collected some in the window and I'm had got the spines in my fingers. Maybe I was 8 years old or so. That was my infection for this hobby.

Now I found this forum by chance and I'm thinking &quot;why don't you registered there&quot; and now I've done.

			<description>Hello Everyone!



I'm 59 and live on the coast of Maine with my wife in the far northeastern USA about 3 hours NE (up the coast) from Boston. My two sons (28 &amp; 31) both live up here as well but not WITH us ...at least not as of this moment.



I'm a woodturning shepherd -- ie. I turn fancy &quot;tools&quot; for knitters and spinners out of wood on a lathe AND we have a small flock of sheep -- 28 +/- ewes and 8 rams ...and, of course, some chickens and pigs come and go.



I hope my membership  ...</description>

			<description>Though I am a member from this forum for some time, I never introduced myself. So time for an introduction. 

 

I am a 49 years old man from The Netherlands. I grow cacti and succulents for more than 30 years. I have a mixed collection in a greenhouse (3 x 8 m). I am a specialist grower of Stapeliads and have visited  these plants in habitat 3 times (SE Spain, Ethiopia, Yemen/Socotra). From the cacti I have a special interest in Mammillaria (of course), Eriosyce (in  the broad sense) and Gymnocalycium.  ...</description>

			<description>Hi,

My name is Amante Darmanin. I am 45 years old and married with wife and three daughters aged 16, 13, 9. I also got a female cat named Daisy. She is quite nocturnal and likes to wake me up at night to feed her. I work as a male nurse in an old people's home comprising of about 1000 residents (must be one of the largest in the world)



I have been into cacti since I was about 7 years or younger. I remember taking particular attention to the only cactus we had at home, Echinopsis multiplex.  ...</description>

			<title>Greetings from Colchester</title>

			<description>Hi! 



My name is Len and I’ve lived in Colchester, Essex since 1976, though I was born and grew up in Kent. I’m divorced, with two sons in their thirties and I share a house with two cats.



I’m not sure when I started collecting Cacti &amp; Succulents as a lad. My dad was a nurseryman, growing mainly “bedding” plants, house plants and cut flowers, and I slipped into C&amp;S gradually. I’m 61 now, so I must have been carefully killing cacti for 45 to 50 years by now, and am on my third incarnation  ...</description>

			<description>I'm Marty, from the Essex coast in England.  I'm 46 and have been a cacti enthusiast for about a year and a half now.  Mammillarias are among my many cacti specialist interests.  I have a decent collection of some 30 odd species, including seedlings that I have germinated this year.  Sadly however, a few of my more established plants are on the way out as it looks like the dreaded RSM has attacked.  I think I am losing M senilis, M senilis 'Diguetti', M glassii siberiensis and M tepexecensis.  ...</description>

			<description>    Good evening,  My name is Wendy and I am 49 years old. Many years ago I collected cactus and had over 100 but for the most part I had no idea exactly what family or species most of them were. I just collected because they were so &quot;cute&quot;.  Now many years later I am renewing my interest in cactus and succulents and this time around learning all I can about all of them.  Mammalarias are at the top of my favorites list along with agaves, aloes, rebutia, epis and a number of others too.  ...</description>

			<description>Hi everyone  

I'm Nancy from western NC; I'm 60 years old and recently seperated. I have been collecting cacti for several years and mamms are my favorite... even tho I only have the most common ones (usually from box stores). I would love to eventually have only mamms as my 'thorny' cacti. (I also collect the holiday cacti). The area I live doesn't have any greenhouses that sell cacti... which might be a good thing as I'm on a very tiny, limited budget..lol.
