cactus and succulents

the other weekend i went to the cactus and succulent society of south australia spring show. it was great. they had some amazing plants on display grown by some of their members, and then they had a huge number of plants for sale.
 

i got this new spikey cactus on the right in the black pot, and the cactus looking euphorbia in the pot on the left.
 

i also got 4 living rocks. i had 2 before but they both died, i think from under-watering. i spoke with the grower, and they need no water in winter and 1 teaspoon of water a week in the warmer months. will see how i go this time, i might also give 1 away for a pressie.
 

i have never really had cactus before, but they are becoming more interesting to me. the shapes, forms, and textures are amazing to me. 
 

and we bought this little succulent plant with red tips in a red pot. again might become a pressie but right now it is being enjoyed at my place.
