Snowfella Posted November 8, 2012 Don't think I've ever seen it as picked out as it is right now, damn near all the benches are bare! True to form though I didn't come home empty handed although I suspect this is the least amount of plants I've ever got there in one visit! The haul for today. They had a couple more of the crests but I couldn't see anymore looking like the other one. Not a bad haul for $14 I'd like to think. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myco Posted November 8, 2012 how many peru crests does that place have jeez you guys are lucky you have a nursery where you can go and find these at try living in W.A. your lucky if you find a shitty little half dead scop at bunnings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naja naja Posted November 8, 2012 hasn't ever stopped me myco, who needs bunnings, when u have SAB. And, with the amount of seedlings and seeds I have. I doubt I'll ever add another clone to my collection unless it's very special. I got my peru crest from ebay, bit pricier, but hey. I got one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myco Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) never stopped me either naja well it did for a little while when i lost a couple of packages my collection is actually getting a little out of control with rare freaks ;) (pics will come soon i promise haha) y ou may all need to bring a change of pants when you see the pics haha ;) but it would be nice to be able to see these things in nurseries and for $14 for 2 shit thats pretty damn good i wish i'd grabbed one from ebay back when they were going for about 30 bucks now the prices theyre getting to is just insanity i got one hooked up though just got to be patient Edited November 8, 2012 by myco 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExplorer Posted November 8, 2012 I've been to Hamiltons numerous times and they never had the crest in stock. So after seeing this thread I went straight there and grabbed a couple! Thanks for the heads up Snowfella! Oh and as tempting as it was to grab them all, especially at only $7 a piece, I still left a few there for you madhouses (or whoever else gets there first). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowfella Posted November 8, 2012 See the $65 one in the main sales area when you went through? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExplorer Posted November 8, 2012 Damn, I didn't. How big was it? I got there right on 4 and didn't want to hold him up, so I asked what peru crests he had in and he only showed me to the little ones. I even asked if he had any more Trichos in stock before I left and he said no . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowfella Posted November 8, 2012 Guess it could be something like 5 inches across, been there for quite a while now as I saw it last time I went there a couple a weeks ago. Situated on a bench right through the "door" you walk through to get to the "checkout" area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExplorer Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Ah fair enough, I didn't go in there this time. Sounds a bit expensive anyways... Edited November 8, 2012 by TheExplorer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psylo Posted November 8, 2012 Are those pot posts a Hamiltons branding? i saw some varieties with these labels at a small nursery earlier in the week, and they were all in really good health, I was impressed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheExplorer Posted November 11, 2012 Just sharing the love . Did you end up grabbing them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J Smith Posted November 11, 2012 There was only one there so I grabbed that. I've never seen it so empty. I did get to have a look in one of their display greenhouses for the first time though. There's a massive Peru crest in the ground in there. 50cm across at least I reckon. I also picked up some succulents. I hope they have some more stock when I get there at Christmas.

Psylo Posted November 12, 2012 oh fuck it. I was out at Richmond on Saturday, then cruised to some nature reserves in Castlereigh. Said to my mate in attendance that I wonder if we are close to Hamiltons, he didn't know. Looking at the map, and one point we were merely minutes away Going back to the area in a few weeks to photograph some natives in bloom, I'l drop in and take some pics of the cacti for you. 2Deep 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
