As you know I can be a little chatty I had emailed John about a soil warming cable & some other bits and he is trying to entice me into buying some plants.
John -"I know you've said you don't buy plants by post, but I thought I'd tell you that all nursery stock is now just 50p per plant.
so get shopping !!!!!

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.
When I've bought plants (visiting) his prices are a bit arbitrary anyway. Think of a number, knock a bit off and then round it down (though I've had a good number each time). I think that vagueness on his website has probably lost him a few customers.
Have you had bad experiences buying mail order? I'd be lost without it. We're luck our C&S are so easy to post. Wouldn't do it in winter though.

Had one bad experince that put me off a little but also there aren't many cacti that I want, just the odd loph crest, aztekium hintonii & some pedio's.
Now if we were talking succulents there would be lots but I like to see what I'm buying, If I visited the nursery I wouldn't come out empty handed but just in talks to get some cono burgeri, now they are really cute (look at Tom jacobs plants)

I'm pleased to have heard thro the Phorum about Cactology's sale. A parcel of plants arrived today Wed after being dispatched on Mon - only half unpacked so far, but plants seem to be in good order, very well rooted, and larger than I expected. Initially, I ordered a couple of dozen, at 65 p and ?1 each, and all but two were available; and when I indicated I would go ahead, I was then offered any additions to the order at 50 p.
