| Cool plants SP.
In row 4 looks like you have Gymnocalycium ragonesii & also a Sulcorebutia sp. by the looks of it.
Row 5 looks like a crested? Ferocactus sp. and a Gymnocalycium sp.
That at the bottom with the black spines is great I really like that one. A Copiapoa sp.? Very cool.

| Yeah I know about that shop, buy a few of their cacti on ebay actually, great plants. Actually someone from that shop is a member here  Cool, I really like the Copipoa genera too. Can see myself spending alot of money on them over the next few years. The Mexicans will always take 1st place for me though. Some nice Trichos too btw, good fat multistemmed one in there, really like that one. Looks like a bridgie?

lol, sounds like me, though I need to move if I want to collect with complete seriousness. Damn shadow!
Keep it up mate, your collection is coming along nicely and looks nice and healthy to boot. Thanks for sharing.

| Very nice collection SP!! rows 4+5: Gymnocalycium ragonesei Sulcorebutia sp. Gymnocalycium multiflorum (monvillei) (double headed and variegated=beauty!) Gymnocalycium sp. (variegated also) CC has such good prices for Copiapoas. a 4in potted plant in shop is $15. eg. C.cinerea... when they list the exact same size plant on ebay it sells for over $50-60!!

| Their prices for C. cinerea are great, snap them up as there might not be anymore coming. The main grower of Copes in Vic stopped growing plants a while ago now. They might be growing their own but I'm not sure. |

| yeah.. i am not sure where they get them from. they either get them from another grower or grow them themsleves from seed. don't know where they get the seed from if thats the case then though. they either have large mature specimens as stock plants... or they import it. |
