Thanks James! That is indeed high praise coming from a cactus connoisseur like yourself.

Hey Bob, I was corresponding with Toni-Marie Hudson. She mentioned that you used to grow Echinopsis hybrids.
Still grow them? That is my #1 interest right now in the Cactus World!

Now there is a fond name out of my past. Toni-Marie had a great collection and helped me acquire some great plants. I still have lots of Echinopsis hybrids but the labels have long since faded or disintegrated. I go to the Schick hybrid site if I need an ID. You can see some of the flowers posted here on this tread. The plants available from the Huntington are a shadow of what they use to be. They are all small pups for $7.50. 10 years ago you could get full size plants for $5.00. If you see anything you like in my pictures let me know and maybe we can work out a trade. I also have some unnamed pups I would be willing to trade too.
