I was in need of some cold-tolerant cactus and Len was happy to oblige. I made the drive to Colonial Beach and not only did I end up with plenty of cactus, I also got Rose of Sharon, Mulberry, some vines, Sedum a banana tree and a bunch of other cool stuff. I learned a lot from a veteran tortoise keeper and even got to meet Walker, a 21 year old Sulcata...quite the handsome fellow:

I'll be posting photos of all of the plants soon. Thank you again to @Turtulas-Len for your generosity and for sharing your knowledge with me, it was really nice to meet you, your torts and your dogs!

Your Welcome, I really enjoyed meeting you and our time together. You are the first forum member to venture the boon docks of the Northern Neck. You have to come back someday to get the plants that we forgot to put on the truck.

Here are some pictures of the plants @Turtulas-Len gave me, he said he has plenty if any other forum members are interested. Still need to get a photo of the banana tree.
