Another Day, Another Cactus...

Or Two...




check out all the lophs!  thats the bench of small ones, didn't get a pic of the bigger ones because the owner was hanging about...

here's what i came home with... a few caespitosa's and a couple of normal williamsii.



don't know what these are, they were not labelled. have a crack at id'ing them, i can't make up my mind about them... they are going to be used as grafting stocks anyway 


and last but not least, some rather nice variegated gymnocalcium hybrids, oenanthemum x horstii, deal of the day @ £2 each

the unlabeled trichos are cuzco/peruvian hybrids, look similar to the one i have.
anyway, DAMN dude, you need to open that nursery/store you were talking about. looks like cactus heaven.
great stuff man.
edit: just realized it's not your greenhouse.

that big bench of lophs, they are all £7.50 each... everything is sold on pot size, not plant size... so if you go to the other side of the greenhouse there are bigger lophs for the same price, which are the ones i have been buying of course 
the first caespitosa was more expensive, like £25, but it is a nice big clump, all those heads are like 3-4cm. the second caespitosa was one of the £7.50 plants. the 4 smallest caespitosa's, £4.50 each. the two l. williamsii were £7.50'ers also. the trichs were £4 each. the variegated gymnocalcium were a steal at £2 each.
(double the prices to get to $'s)
all in all, very well priced in comparison to online retailers
