I would suggest you trying cactus forums, for example <a href="http://cactiguide.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3&sid=124199686739dbab30122de8d5ea0818" rel="nofollow">this one</a>. There you can upload your pictures and ask other members to help you. Jim,

Malaysia is a tropical, rain-forest, humid and year long sun & rain. Pls assist me in choosing the suitable types, plus any infos on how to extract it's alkaloids, for the purpose of medicine. Do we need to chop off the plant or there are methods that would allow such procedure, without harming or cause the plant to die or stagnant in growing. Hi,

My aunt gave me a cactus several years ago that has grown and done very well! Recently it grew a large bloom on it; it's first. It opened up into a beautiful, purple-haired, star looking bloom. Is there a way to send a picture to you, because I'd like to know if you can identify it. Thank you! Shelly May Las Cruces, NM Hello!
