August 1996: The cacti-world in the web was almost empty and dry.
Especially in Austria the activities of the Austrian cactus-lovers had
no presence in the WWW at this point.
So I decided to begin the begin ('in Linz beginnts')
in offering some tips, links and information about cacti.
And time changes and the former desert is filled with bloom:
As useful starting-points to guide you to everything in the kingdom
of those thorny fellows I can offer the following links:
Cactus and Succulent Plant Mall
San Diego Epiphyllum Society
List of fieldnumbers
Succulent Plant Page
Green Growing Globe
Boyce-Thompson Arboretum
Smithsonian
USDA Plants Database
Bio-Sciences
GardenNet
GardenWeb
Southwestern Cacti
CITES
In the search engines of the web like
LYCOS
,
YAHOO
or
ALTAVISTA
a specific search (Kaktus, Cactus) will guide you to many interesting links too.
Also take a notice of my hometown
Linz
, which shelters in its botanical gardens
beside numerous botanical dainties a preventive collection of the IOS too.
If you are interested in the European weather-situation
then take a look at the
infrared-satellite-picture
of the Austrian Central Institution for Meteorology and Geodynamics.
