great coverage and must have been nice for that tour. im sure I have some cactus and agave from this nursery as they look exactly like the large loads our local Lowes gets in spring and summer. do they supply the lowes and home depots?

also to note there were many euphorbias pictured (the things planted in the ground in the greenhouse for cuttings) posted in which are not 'cactus' you can tell when a piece is broken it oozes white milky sap which can be toxic and irritates the skin. they also have "leaves" when well watered and growing.

i have a couple hundred cactus I started from seed about 2 years ago that are painstakingly slow but resist drought VERY well.

also the hoya blooms are cool and waxy

thanks for this coverage!

Luke, its the 3rd largest in the nation, chances are you do have somthing they grew, It is a major box store element,

I never gave euphorbias much notice, but your right they are not exactly cactus. If things work out I will have many more pictures of the cactus nursery.

What an operation!  Gotta love the Sanseveria.

Glad you liked it Ray. it boggles the senses when you walk into one of the greenhouses and the colors just smack you upside the head. I am still not a huge fan of cactus and succulents but some of them have caught my eye and not just with a thorn!!
