The time has come...

Post by TimN »

...for me to pass the vast majority of my collection on. I no longer have the space or inclination to take care of the hundreds of plants I currently have. It's unfortunate, but it's time to move on.

If you have interest in acquiring lots of plants, I'd like to move them in large groups or one large group if possible. They won't be free, but they won't be retail either. I have lots of show-worthy or near show-worthy plants, plus flats of seed grown plants.

This is just a sample...

If you have serious interest, contact me via email @ timnevins@cox.net

I'm going to take pictures and catalog plants this week, so there will be more info to come.

I'm so sorry to hear you are getting out of the hobby! :( While I wasn't always active on your member topic, I always made sure to look through it and admire your amazing collection. I enjoyed your topics very much! You/your collection will certainly be missed!

As for the plants - If only you were closer...

Tim, well if you end up getting stuck with anything let me know, I might be able to swing a few bucks your way, but not much, I still dont have a job.
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.

Once bitten by the cactus collecting/growing bug, there is no known cure!
There's no 12 step programme for Cactaholics...so I shall just have to get some more!!
