If you attend personally then you can buy from Kent Cacti or John Pilbeam with john taking the money for doug's plants (this I have done recently).
As far as Kent Cacti's continuance then thats another question.

Yes KC is still up and running , he is up at the nursery several times a week , as far as I know , but no longer advertises in the journal as there is a steady client base . I would advise a telephone call before any visit though .
