I haven't purchase anything from these guys yet, but am sure to do so in the future. I am always buying some sort of cacti from somewhere
Anyway, thought I might give them a bit of a plug and see if anybody had dealt wiith them before? Looks liek they might have some nice plants. _________________ コレクタ |

yes I have, I bought a few beautiful rear cacti over the past couple of months from the market stall he runs on the weekend. Andrew is a very knowledgeable and helpful guy and is very pleasant to do business with.  |

an ACT based backyard nursery.
All his plants have been really healthy. certainly worth a look. last year he had $4 Lophophora - big ones too. His A myriostigma nuda x A. myriostigma strongylogonum is really nice too.  |

unfortunately they are just a quide. Thats not to say the plants are no good! I have made a few of orders with him before and I've always been happy - a couple of the plants have been on the small size but they are healthy. I do remember them being a little dehydrated but this was probably just the time of year. |
