Default Hello from New Orleans

Hi,
My name is Billy and I am from the New Orleans area. I started growing and collecting succulents around 25 years ago. My hobby started with euphorbias and crested/monstrous cacti & succulents but, has grown to include a healthy passion for aloeaceaeand crassulaceae. I am especially fond of the hybrid aloes of Kelly Griffin and Karen Zimmerman. Looking forward to getting to know and learning from you all.

Hi, Billy. I lived in New Orleans for 16 years. A great place to grow aloes and Madagascan euphorbias, a lousy place to grow Lithops!
