This collection is intended as a starting point for those with a botanical interest, especially related to succulent plants. This page was last updated 5th August 2023 at which time all links were believed to be correct. Some links may be listed under more than one heading.
Please note that some servers may not respond at any one time, because they are down for maintenance, overloaded by users or through a faulty Net connection. Other links refuse automatic link checkers, so are verified manually from time to time.
I am generally happy to provide a free link on this page to relevant web sites (amateur or commercial) with a cactus or succulent plant theme.
All links offered purely for information "as seen". No recommendation of any organisation or web site is implied.
Email: webmaster with suggestions.
