My exemplars are VM 758 ... never understood this number meaning anyway. I guess that's the location right? then those must be at least near the "original Ones"
That must have been a great experience talking to him, I did actually knew him from this article he wrote, A really informative one. http://www.lophophora.info/Lophophora+alberto-vojtechii.pdf So strange that it comes in English AND ITALIAN (Probably thanks to guglielmo pandolfo, an italian Latin professor) !

My bad, I misspelt the number: it's VM758. It corresponds to a given location AND date of collection. VM is the initials of Vojtech Mysák, a guy that has done extensive collecting of Lophophora on Mexico.
The fact that the original description is also in italian is due to the fact that it was published in an italian magazine. It's a matter of courtesy, if not mandatory by the magazine's standards.

I'm soooo jealous LSoares
Looks like you had a great time and have a lot of beautiful plants to show for it
I wish I knew why Europeans and such have a lot more to do with cacti than us Americans
It makes me sad though

Well, you have in the US an annual show and sale of cacti, held by the CSSA at the Huntington Botanical Gardens. I believe it's in late June. And I'm sure there are statewide shows held by the various chapters of the CSSA.

I'll have to plan on going to a CSSA show/sale sometime. It would be quite a drive for me to go down to California, but well worth it.

Oh shit I remember someone saying something about that the other day now
It just seems to me that cacti don't get as much respect in the US as they do in the European countries

I flew to Brussels and then got to Blankenberge by train: it would be nearly 1300 miles, should I decide to drive there...

That depends on the country: they surely don't get any respect on MY country, we're just a few with no organization whatsoever...

I don't know what part of the US you live in,but there are 1000's of cactus societies,cactus shows,conventions,you name it here in the good old US,and actually I think Americans love cacti more than any other country,to be quite honest
