Hi all!
I'm planning on a weekend trip to the LA area to visit a fellow-cactophile and visit the Huntington. I know the California Cactus Center is a good stop near the Huntington.
But, what others are recommended for "different" or "exciting" finds?
Several aren't open on Sundays, so those might cause a problem as that day we would have the whole morning and early afternoon to investigate places. Most of Saturday will likely be taken up at the Huntington.
I'm finding a bunch of general nurseries, which in my experience are hit and miss with C&S...but, none specific to cacti/succulents.
We are starting out at the Huntington on Saturday, but can head any direction from there Sat afternoon and spend the night wherever; on Sunday, we have to be in Chino around 4pm or so.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Good Cactus Nurseries in LA Area
Can you go down to the San Diego area?
I'll grow it as long as it doesn't have glochids. Gaudy flowers a plus.

No - We won't be able to make it down there unfortunately...we did the San Diego area last May as well.

I like Desert Creations in Northridge and Dream Garden on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. They have more of the rare and unique looking cacti/succulents.
