When I saw the subject of your post, I thought you'd probably have a few nice photos...mouth watering stuff ! Do they also collect spinies ?

A wonderful collection of plants there...do they do any hybridising themselves? With all those plants, they sure do have some quality plants to play with.

I see yellow tags, do they import most of their plants from Michaels?

My pick of the group is the variegated Alcantarea...yes, I like it even more than the variegated Tigers. Do you know where that Alcantarea came from?

Wonderful pictures!!! It is always a big pleasure to go on tour with you - thanks a lot for sharing it! Those variegated Tigers are to die for (specially the last one)- as is the variegated Alcantarea. Do you know perhaps what is the name of the red Neo with the green center, just below the correia-araujoi (your picture name Brom_13)?

I love that variegated Alcantarea from Brazil. And the Skotak hybrids are looking good. What is the brom in the photo you tagged number 18?

A Magic collection, all is amazing!!, the Carcharodon T and hydrids look incredible. Stephania, will be in Thailand soon and are heading to the Bangkok markets + Nooch Nooch so will hopefully get a taste of this. Although sadly can only look not buy. Your climate is obivously perfect for these plants. we are very jealous, Thanks for sharing your friends collection with us.

Excellent, as always, Chanin! I'm jealous of the variegated HL hybrids too, those are some very good clones. Were they selling those, or just for stock?

In the picture with all the T. xerographicas there appears to be a Billbergia hovering in mid-air! ;-)

Japie, I think the Neo. you're asking about is Victoria's Secret.

Glad you all love them (^_^)

Most of Tony, my friend's plants came from Michael's and Pam's Bird Rock Tropical.
Some of them from Tropiflora.

He does sell some surplus, but mostly have been kept as stock.
As I knew, Tony never done any cross, he just love to make everyone drool :-))

Andrew, that variegated Alcan. came from Michael's, I think.
The No. 18 pic is a from of Neo. carcharodon, HDD.

It's a magic Lisa :-))
