Hi guys. ;)
well, few days before, my mum bought me 4 pots of really nice, cute little cactuse.
just now, while i'am surfing the internet, i thought i wanted to know the real name (species) of my cactus.
but, since i am new here, and i don't really know how to post the pictures of those adorable cactus, so i put it in my blog.
guys, please, take a look & help me name them ! >.p/s : i'm a malaysian. sorry for my poor english.

Here is a link that might be useful: Pictures of the Cactus

Awwwwwwwwwww. Looks like you've already given them perfect names.
I like Bubbles!
That first one reminds me of an old man cacti or a wooly one.
Cute. (:

Okay ... I dusted off my cactus book.
Bubbles is a type of Parodia cactus.
Buttercup is a type ofÃÂ Ferocacti.
I do believe Blossom is too. More specifically,ÃÂ ferocactus latispinus.
With Frida ... It's hard to tell. It looks like it could be aÃÂ Rebutia albipilosa or a kind of Lobivia. Cacti grow hair like that to protect themselves from sun burn. That's why Buttercup has that white fuzz around her thorns.
I think you should keep the names you have on there. Plants like that sort of thing. It helps them grow better. The same way talking to them or playing music for them does. Nice blog. And nice cactus. (:
