Newbie cactus care

Can people tell me what are the easiest cacti/succulents to grow, from either seeds or buying a plant? Thanx

what are you looking for?

Now of course I am biased and I love succulents. Burro tails are pretty awesome looking and they grow super fast (for succulents). Any sedum, really, will grow quickly and change fast.

for ideas...

I am drooling over these plants, then look and sure enough only usa shipping. :( Is there ANY good sites that ship to Canada that you or anyone else might know of???-------Just out of curiousity why don't they ship to canada??? Where do you get your seeds from? Do they ship to canada? How did you propigate them? I'm having a cactus withdrawal day here! :-() They are addictive! Lol.

oh :( I'm sorry. It's too bad they don't ship. Have you tried contacting the people from the sites to see if you could work something out???

in anycase, there has GOT to be a site that ships at least seeds to you. :/ :/ do you have any friends/family in the states?

Nope, no family or friends in the states. But I think I might try contacting some of them about seeds, maybe? they will sell those, if they are allowed? Definately worth a try anyway. Thanks so much. :)

You ever try eBay? There are many people on there selling plants, seeds, bulbs, you name it. I've bought alot of my plants from there.
