CV, how far is that place from you? That is just absolutely amazing! I can't believe it! I suppose the roof is to keep the water out, not heat in right?

On image 0243 I think that is the larges Parodia/Noto warasii that ever lived!

on 0410 -Mammillaria? Cochemia? GIANT!

0423 -didn't look like much was flowering there, but you can always count on C. winteri

And they all appear to be very healthy!

Indeed an AWESOME place!

I couldn't help but laugh when in one of the pics a columnar (cleistocactus ?) was sticking out of the center of a clump of globes (Parodia ?)

It's crowded, but i really like the look and yes, they sure do all look healthy.

Could pic 0410 be a M. sphacelata ssp. viperina?

and all those pachycladus(?) standing at attention like good soldiers

thats far off from my place about 2000kms! the place where most of that cactus jungle is, is indeed very costly for the poor guy like me but i found a few very cheap selling wholesale dealers! have a look at picture no 244. those e.grussoni are one usd each ! i ordered 30 pieces. few more i bought are

and few more succulents and few more collumnars etc etc.
