Re: Kilnwood Cacti
Vic,
I visited Doug & Doreen about 7 years ago, 2001 i think it was, The Copiapoas and Eriosyce were the highlight of my visit,
i bought a couple of Eriosyce that day, which i still have now, even though most of my collection 100+ plants of Eriosyce has gone now.
The money tree is huge, the largest ive seen,
outside of the greenhouse, its under that green canopy, is it not, for the winter ?
Benjy
Just came back to edit my post,
Ive just noticed looking through the pictures again that youve actually written above the picture,
that the money plant is under the green canopy

Re: Kilnwood Cacti
You're most welcome, glad you all enjoyed the photos:)
Thord, only plants with a green label are for sale.
I'm sure you'll enjoy your visit Ray, plenty to see and Doug always getting new stock in for sale(tu)
Yes under the green canopy Benjy;), shame you had to part with most of your Eriosyce, I know you shared some pics with us recently. Any more, please?

Re: Kilnwood Cacti
5 or 6 of the 'Thelocephalas' in this pic were also kept,
because they are small.

Re: Kilnwood Cacti
I love Eriosyce in the broad sense. My favourites are the smaller Neoporterias and especially the Thelocephalas. That 'fulva' is superb, one I don't have yet, though I've got various interesting things as small seedlings from Spiniflores seed.

Mainly small Cacti + a few Mesembs.

Re: Kilnwood Cacti
Thought I’d give everyone a timely reminder of the Kilnwood Cactus Nursery now that the growing season has arrived and we can sort out what room we have to squeeze in just a few more plants.
It really is a fantastic place to go, even if just to look and drool at Doug’s superb collection. His skill and enthusiasm in growing these plants is obvious from the moment you walk into the place and I have found all of his advice to be top notch.
The sales plants are constantly surprising, as being an established collector himself, Doug knows that we don’t want to always see the same things that we tend to get offered at other outlets. The garden is in a beautiful setting and parking is never a problem.
Oh, and I haven’t even mentioned the hospitality!!! Doreen always makes sure that any diet is immediately put on hold by offering ridiculously tasty snacks throughout.
This isn’t an attempt at free advertising. Just observations from a regular and very satisfied visitor and customer.
