The shop is closed just now. The shop is not open for orders yet. Everything here is real and grown in my own yard — have a look around — but I am not taking money until the last few things are in place. Ask about a plant

Growing

Birdland

I grow this one but haven’t written it up yet. The notes and photographs go in as I get to them.

Read the reference entry → — what the name Birdland means, where it came from, and what other growers record about it.

Nothing off this one is listed at the moment. It's growing in the yard and gets cut when it's ready.

Anything marked “not recorded yet” is a fact I have not written down. I would rather leave the gap than guess at it.

Photographs

I have not photographed this one yet, so these are my own drawings of the kind of cactus it is. My photographs go up as I take them.

  • Line drawing of a clumping cactus, offsets pushing up around the base of the mother stem
