From what I'm seeing, it looks like that there are more succulents. Do they just specialize in succulents?

TONS of lithops as I recall. One of the nice things is they have a "scratch and dent" box that you can pick plants out of for free. They are usually weird in some way, but hey...


They also had some nice Peniocereus greggii last few times I was there.

@Tony, I think those Arios might just be that form called lloydii, the type with the sort of triangular, pumped up tubercles. Of course, they could also be grafted.

Hi sorry about that. I posted a few different topics from all around Tucson, Arizona. That is also where this is from.
