Visit to a Private Greenhouse

Recommended Posts

Here are some photos from a private collection I saw today. I was in a rush so there's just a few snaps, if you want to see anything in detail tell me and I'll take some more next time I'm out that way. Check out the crested Astrophytum, and the Lophocereus shottii monstrose.

You're fucking kidding me. I was in CHCH last weekend and missed out on seeing the nursery because the owner was away.

I'm soooooo gutted.

Hating you lots right now Sublime.

Wow, two people managed to say that they hate me in this short thread so far.

I'm not sure exactly how long stuff has been growing there, the guy is probably late forties and said he had some of them from when he was a kid and inherited the collection of an old guy up the road when he died.
