Re: Cactus seeds website?
The loph with the pups looks like a L.williamsii caespitosa but I can't any more than that.
When lophophora's are young they all look the same ( to me anyway)

Re: Cactus seeds website?
So actually I should wait to the flower to bloom?
Only then I whould be 100% certain?
Williamsii is a pinkish color? Isn't?
Unlike the difussa and the fricii..
Am I right?

Re: Cactus seeds website?
I've bought from Succeed and Mesa Garden for a while now, and their see is usually pretty good. Doug and Viv Rowland have a good list, and the ML field numbered Mammillarias I had from them this year germinated very well. Koehres has a wide list as well, with some rather old names, but I've always found their germination somewhat variable.
I think they all deliver within the EEC, not sure about further afield.

Re: Cactus seeds website?
Chris,
What do you do about all the documentation that is needed for Mesa seeeds or do you just order them.
I got some via my mate in California but he has just been transferred to work in Australia so that has dried up my source.

Re: Cactus seeds website?
I just order them, Bob, and haven't had a problem. I did check with DEFRA some while ago, and so long as they aren't Appendix I seeds, all should be OK. I am sure though that a year or two ago I did order some Appendix I seeds from there and Steven Brack sent them anyway.
I'll email you with the relevent answer from DEFRA.

Re: Cactus seeds website?
You can order them thru David Rushforth can't you? I thought he was a sort of Agent for Mesa.
