Good place for Jungle cacti

Post by Harriet »

This place made me very happy... once I got past the sign in page. I think it started as a bromeliad nursery and has branched out into cacti (18 or 19 varieties of Rhipsalis, along with other jungle species), caudicforms (some very cool euphorbias), bonzai, bromeliads, hoya, orchids, and more. I got a very nice Wittia amazonica (more recently Disocactus amazonicus) that I have wanted, but haven't been able to find anywhere else, and other stuff. So much other stuff...

If you are looking for tropicals, or if you live in the Southeastern US and want heat and humidity resistant cacti, this is a good place to look.

Harriet: Thanks for the lead. I would like to diversify my Rhisapalis. Did you order any agaves from them? I will be setting up a new cactus / avage bed this fall and they have some interesting species

Thanks for the tip. Will you be participating in the round robin? I can throw a few in the box.

I am just looking for the defining statement to put here. Follow this link to see my other cacti.

I got some nice agaves. One was advertised as a bare root pup, and I ended up getting that pup with another smaller pup attached. I think the varieties carried there will be pretty well suited to my area, and there are some I just haven't noticed elsewhere. I'm on the mailing list and there is always something neat to look at, this nursery has my number 'fer sure'...

Wow. I had no idea there were so many different Rhipsalis to be found in one place.
