Ah, a succulent and cacti expert.

I appreciate the information, as my area of expertise is really
rhododendrons. However, none of the captions on my site is put there without
some research and most of the photographs were taken at reputable botanic
gardens, whose labelling and classification I usually trust. Consequently, I
have to ask, can you site any references, especially for the Opuntia
subulata.

Quickly found a few errors on your website. Could find many more if I had
the time.

Correct name is Sansevieria trifasciata 'Silver Queen' not 'Silver Sheen'.

Sansevieria parva in flower in the front of picture with Sansevieria
trifasciata 'Bantel's Sensation' in back. Sansevieria parva is native to
Kenya and is a free flowering species. Flowering the species is not a rare
occurance at all.

Your plant as Sans.trifasciata 'Futura' is actually Sans.trifasciata
'Robusta'. There is no such species named Sans.gigantea.

Your Opuntia longispina var.flavidispina is actually Euphorbia

similiramea.

Your Opuntia subulata is actually a North American "Cholla", probably
Cylindropuntia whipplei.

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is not a hybrid. The florist Kalanchoes are

complex
hybrids involving several species not just K.blossfeldiana and should not

be
attributed to that species.

Its Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop', a cultivar of Dutch origin, the German
spelling 'Schwartzkopf' is incorrect and not valid.

Thats Crassula coccinea not Crassula perfoliata var. falcata and it blooms
in the winter not summer.

Just a quick message to note that my site now includes nearly 1300 plant
images, including many that could be described as rare and unusual. All
pictures have informative captions.
