A package from the UK

Hello, readers! Yesterday I've received a package from the United Kingdom. A box filled up with plants and seeds from a fellow forum member of the Cactiguide.com forum. That's what this post is all about and nothing more.


I was actually only looking for some Brasiliopuntia brasiliensis cuttings, but there was a little more inside the box. Although I'm a little bit scared of the upper left seed package, I do appreciate these gifts very much! (thanks again, Steve!)

Now let me see. What do we have here:

Plants:
  • 2 Brasiliopuntia brasiliensis
  • 1 Harrisia jusbertii cutting
  • 1 Opuntia elata/bergerensis cutting
  • 3 Euphorbia obesa seedlings
  • 1 Astrophytum asterias
  • 1 Hylocereus undatus
  • 9 Pereskiopsis spathulata

Seeds:
  • Mega mix (the huge bag of seeds on the upper left)
  • Carnegiea gigantea (Saguaro)
  • Turbinicarpus panarottoi
  • Turbinicarpus klinkerianus
  • Kedrostis africana
  • Epithelantha micromeris v. neomexicana
  • Ferocactus latispinus
  • Astrophytum (mixed hybrids)
  • Copiapoa malhuensis
  • Gymnocalycium piltziorum
  • Gymnocalycium occultum

Yeah, that's a lot on top of what I was already planning to sow, but I'm not complaining. I'm actually quite curious about how this all will turn out.

Have a nice day and till next post!
