As with the others, I can only show a sampling in pictures. Everyone on the forum should make the trip in person to visit these nurseries! (like you need persuasion right?)
OK, I know some of you really like this sort of thing:
This one smelled like buttered popcorn:
A greenhouse view - extremely neat and tidy:
These Astros just look perfect to me!
Seedlings!
Ubelmannias
Some stock plants:
Euphorbia hybrids:
Sun setting as we left:
All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
Thanks for posting pics from Tucson nurseries. I found Miles Anderson's "A gardener's directory of cacti and succulents" at library and looked up website http://www.miles2go.com/.
I couldn't tell if his business is strictly mail order. You just called and made appointment to browse? I love B&B. Bach's is also great. Too bad you had the breakdown but you made lemonade. The pictures are great.
P.S. Did any particular nursery have photo ops for cacti with cephaliums?!!! Never mind. That's kind of cheating.
This view is just perfect!!
Could you send me this one in a higher res, please?

Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money.

@Lair3514 -Give him a call - he does have people show up to buy plants, but because it is on the other side of the park, he doesn't have much foot traffic. And don't hold back on the cephalium pics - my entry is a B&B plant. I used it because I wanted something recent for an entry.
@tudedude - Yes the pics are from a week ago. You can certainly give him a call or send an e-mail about the U. pectinifera.
@Ralf - I will send the pic, but it is not quite clear at full size. I took it out the car window. I really should have got out and took a pictures without the sign and stuff too.
