OPP Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Went out there today. Smaller than expected but still interesting. Only a few succulents. Was talking to the stallholder with the cactii and he said someone stole his biggest Loph yesterday and so there were none there today. How mean to steal someones prized Loph!!Came home with some interesting herbs and fruits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExplorer Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I caught the last 15 mins after work yesterday. As OPP said, pretty small but a fair few interesting plants getting around. Only one stall was selling cacti (when I was there) and he had a few small Loph willi var. caes tucked under the bench - they were priced a bit high for what they were though (I also overheard him talking to another stallholder about the stolen Loph). He did have some nice old Astrophytums and Pachypodiums though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
