I’ve had my eyeballs on Astrophytum as my next thing, which told the plant world I was coming for them. On Saturday, I went to a local plant swap that Facebook mysteriously put on my calendar six months ago. Though 90% of it was little (overpriced) leaf clippings, I found a mother/daughter team with the stuff of dreams on their little table. First, let me say all these were grown in a window. Second, the Astrophytum were grown by this duo from seed (my jaw dropped in front of the sellers). Third, I should have bought the peyote. Fourth, I’m downplaying how excited I was about the Copiapoa and Haworthia truncata. Fifth: I got all of these for $65!
