Greetings everyone ,
I came across this interesting site whilst searching for some seeds of Sinningia Leucotricha amongst others .I do not have any plants currently but i have grown some Lithops in the past with moderate success and i am now bored with cucumbers and peppers that i grew in my greenhouse being eaten by everything exept for my family and I , and i am really interested in growing some unusual plants from seed preferably succulents.
I have found a really usefull site that you guys have probably known about since it was introduced but it took me ages to find a supplier who lists dozens of varieties of Cacti & Succulents !
I don't wish to break any house rules so i will not mention the name of the company. I assume that if it is ok to mention web sites that somebody will ask ?
I don't have a great deal of spare time but i am looking forward to exploring this site.
Kind regards
Mark

Mentioning the name of nursery you want to try is ok, there is even a whole list on cactus-mall's main page. It can definitely be a good idea to hear what other forum members think of it before you make an order, there are a few less serious suppliers out there.

Welcome Mark!
I have ordered seeds from WorldWondersGardens previously - very quick delivery and good germination. So I would reccomend them. I also have received a quick reply to my e-mail when I had a question about one of the plants.

I've had poor results I'm afraid, so no longer get seeds there.
