Hello, I'm looking for seed or plants of Astrophytum caput-medusae. The only source I found is an Astrophytum society in the US:

Is there another nursery or group of enthusiasts with connections to this new species? Thank you. Klaus


You asking the question here is like asking someone in outer Mongolia about how many people were hurt in a traffic accident in Fargo, North Dakota.

Try asking the actual people involved in the plant's discovery and actual dealers in such plants.

Try looking in the Cactus Mall to get started.

are not the first one to show an interest in this new plant and there is a very long line of people interested in getting one waiting ahead of you.

Join the cactus sociaty or any cactus and succulent growers organization and follow the trial to any number of collectors willing to snatch the plants out of the wild. Only the naive or liars like Stanley will not know whose collections already have the plants.

Sure Tomski. You know all about it because you have been illegally importing them from Mexico for years along with orchids, exotic birds and several controlled substances!!!! Isn't that right tough guy?
