I am looking for pics of Espostocactus miribilas (seed number 2029 from cactus-seeds.com).

I can't seem to find much on it on the web... maybe it has a different name?

On Vlado's site there is a link to the synonym page, it probably says in there, though my guess is it's an Espostoa sp.

Just looking at my 'complete encyclopedia' It is Espostoa mirabilis. Will see if I can find out if this is the old synonym or it's the new one.

Unless someone else knows?

No,
never come across it - but Vlado is keen to sell, and has indicated that he will be getting new seed in soon?

Vlado Vikasky is the proprieter of Cati seeds and he is a REALLY nice guy. He will get you so many seeds you hadn't thought of - he is aweome. I only say that because he is (and I have an huge order in with him at the moment) BUT honestly, if you want seed - try him out. He's good value and I have soooooooooooo many great cheap seed from him that has done well!

Yes I have made my wish list up - so I will wait till all the seed that is on its way to arrive, re-check room and then go in for the order Smile

Seems very reasonabley priced. And OH MY! What a selection!

Have you been to his premises? It must be gigantic!

Maybe it's no longer fun when it gets to that size... But it's still pretty amazing.

Can't emphasise that he has some REALLY nice seed and is a NICE person to deal with. No CITES issues buying locally and he gets a lot of his seed from oz.
