I love the bi-color 48945. What is it? Hard to find? Hard to grow? Sue

Good morning / evening Sue,

neither hard to find nor difficult to maintain.
Only Sulcorebutia tarabucoensis v. callecalensis !

If You don´t find it, I send You a cutting.


Best regards

Good morning Dan,

thank you for your interest!
Yes, it is very unusual, maybe my fault. . .

Don´t know if I have a great collection, but maybe it is only a relativly big collection. . . :wink:
I collect since I´am ten years old, now I´am 54.
But I have not collected continously.
Study, work and other interests. . . ](*,)
But for several years, I have my greenhouses on the roof of my company.
This is wonderful, my dream.
Since I had read (at the age of 10) the first Nero Wolfe book, I knew I would have a greenhouse at my house.

Best regards
