Lovely plants! Did you get to meet Norma?

No I didn't - it was mobbed with people, of course. She lives about 5 miles from me, I should make a point to go meet her.

It's a wee little thing, there are bigger ones there but I do enjoy watching them grow. The hahnii don't look like much when there are 20 of them in a couple flats but take one home, clean it up (nice pot, top dressing, clean the leaves) and they shine. I got most of my hahnii at Home Depot amongst the succulents, not in the house plant section - but that's California for ya, don't know if it's like that elsewhere. They put the cylindricas out on tables with the succulent bowls and agave.

Next O, really good haul of sans and excellent selections. The pinguicula is especially nice, they're very slow-growing and yours is a good size. So it's many years old. I don't think that green sans from Calif Cactus Center is stuckyi, looks more like suffruticosa. Maybe someone else can give an opinion on it.

Calif sure is a mecca for sans, I've love to live within driving distance of The Huntington and all the old-time sans growers in that area. I'd love to meet Norma and Hermine.

I can't read the fine print on the label of stuckyi, does it spell True's first name with one 'L'? I corresponded with her many years ago.

Oops, I forgot to answer your question Russ - I think it's one L on the tag but that could be a typo on whomever typed up the tag at the Huntington. Florida seems to be another Mecca for sans and tropicals, parts of it anyway.

Thanks for your input on my S. stuckyi - I'm assuming you know what the juvenile form looks like - I can only take them at their word (or the supplier). Maybe then I'll have 2 stuckyi (what is the plural here?) time will reveal all, LOL.

The pinguicula was a good price for the size, I already have one but it was a temptation I couldn't resist. So I have back up now. Or something to trade. Or bookends ;^)

Not a problem on the question, wasn't that important. I'll see if I have a juvenile stuckyi, if so I'll post a pic so you can see the form. Yeah, you scored big with that big ping.
