The Pterocacti come from a Polish ebayer called multicactus. I’ve had many nice plants from there for good prices.
My Echinopsis/Trichocereus plants mostly come from Wessner Kakteen, Uhlig Kakteen or one of the many German ebay sellers. Karl Rabsilber has been my main recent ebay source, though I have used many. Of the German suppliers, Wessner is my personal favourite. His plants are always good quality and are usually slightly larger at any given price point. There is only one German seller I have blacklisted and that is down to his payment methods (bank transfer only).
I’m still hunting six Schick hybrids, Aglaia, Bacarole, Bel Canto, For Norma, La Sonrisa and Ring Nebula. If you know anyone who is selling these in Europe, please let me know....

Re: New purchases!
I will keep an eye out! I'm going to have a go at breeding my own over the coming years. I'm trying to limit what brood stock I buy in so I've room for all the seedlings!

Re: New purchases!
I set out with similar ambitions last year .....
About a dozen Echinopsis flowers were pollinated ....
Each seed capsule produced approximately 600 seeds ....
I planted the seeds under lights .....
And got almost full germination from the ones I planted, leaving a lot of seeds in the fridge.
Should you have similar results .... you'll require a huge GH
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Re: New purchases!
We'll temptation got the better of me again. Being at home poorly is bad for my bank balance!
A friend and I ordered these from Korea. They came remarkably quickly and despite being rather dry, seem to have shipped well.
And a little Agave offset from my friend. He had it labelled Agave minutes but we can't find any reference to it. It is a paler midrib but that's the only diagnostic feature of any note at the moment! Has anyone got any ideas of what it might be?

Re: New purchases!
You may need to be ill more often .... those are gorgeous purchases.
Must try that wheeze though for my next purchases.
