Sounds like the outdoor garden is going to expand! That nursery sure has a lot of plants. I wonder which plant they've had for the longest time.

Huh, interesting. I doubt Ferocactus rectipsinus grows in the Tucson area. There might be some emoryi with slightly straighter spines than normal. But rectispinus is a distinct geographic strain entirely limited to a swath of Baja from just outside San Ignacio to the Bahia Concepcion area, as far as I know.
Of course, I'm wrong several times a day and this could be time number one. :-)

Amazing plants! I went on their website after your visit. It's a shame I can't order from them!

Very well grown plants!

Tim, yes you can order there and they ship of course in the USA.
Here is a response from my friend Uli, he is the owner of Kakteen-Haage.

We even speak english... ;)
So you can order! The website is also in English language available.

Amazing! You really get a great head-start on the year with your greenhouse setup.
