We returned from our botanical expedition with a great many new seeds, great fertilizers and soils ideal for optimal cactus and succulent growth. All natural products harvested without endangering the ecosystem. We have some new rare plants ready to sell in the nursery and Jon is busy handcrafting and numbering an array of unique clay pots with stunning glazes to better display your collection in.
Our trip was nothing short of amazing and we were happy to make a number of new friends and connections along the way. I want to take this opportunity to introduce "Terrapin Gardens" near Seattle Washington, where I met Mike Braunlich, the owner. He has some gorgeous Cycads, native perrenials and Dioscorea elephantipes! I recommend checking his site: http://www.terrapin-gardens.com/
(one of his gorgeous Dioscorea E.)
In addition to the travels to harvest seed, we dropped by the San Francisco Cactus Show at the Golden Gate Park last month and chatted with fellow nurserymen and collectors.
If you are an avid and passionate cactus, succulent or exotic plant enthusiast, I urge you to join the local or national Cactus Societies. In the US check out: http://www.cssainc.org/index.php .They coordinate field trips to view and photograph some rare, almost extinct plants. It is the greatest thrill is to see the plants growing in their native habitats, which can be as variable, exotic and fascinating as the plants themselves.
In closing remember to preserve and protect the environment that offers you such rich variety and such beauty!
