Opuntia
Can anyone kindly point me into the direction of any UK nurseries or easy to trade with abroad that have a good selection of Opuntia's or Tephros. Perhaps I'm asking too much. Also where can I find a list of the many good nurseries that were at The National. May be you know someone with spares for sale. Thank you, Roger Mann (Essex)

Re: Opuntia
You might also try Michi at http://chiemgau-kaktus.de. He ships within the EU and the UK are still in the EU, right? His plants are excellent, plus he really likes Opuntia and Tephros.
The links are really long, check: "Kategorien": "Pflanzen > Feigenkakteen" and "Pflanzen > frostharte Kakteen > Opuntia Formen".

I have wanted to buy plants from Michael before but as I don't speak German I can never figure out where to go on his website for postage cost and if he takes PayPal
I also had the same problem with kakteen schwarz when I was wanting to buy some plant pots as they never replied to my email

Postage was around 20 Euros earlier this year. I note the English language section of the site has now vanished. If you email Michael he replies in English.
Roger
What are you looking for in particular?
