not enough variety :(

Posted by beck_QLD (My Page) on

hi guys,

i need some of you Brisbane people to help me out.
im finding that all of the brisbane nurseries that ive been to have much of the same cacti and succulents. theres no unusual or intersting stuff on the market.

so my question to you brisbane folk is what nurseries/markets/growers do you go to for your C & S.
im willing to drive outside of Brisbane if you know of any really good places.

what i think Brisbane needs is its own cactus nursery

Anxious BECk

Hi Beck, You should join the Qld Cactus & Succulent Soc. It will put you in touch with many specialist growers. Among the members you will find gowers of many rare and wonderful plants. Try < powerup.com.au/~cssq > Regards Didge Rowe

Theres an echeveria grower who I have seen at Mt. Tamborine sportsground markets don't know if they go there all the time, there is another cacti grower there most times the markets are open (2nd sunday each month)

Hi
There are a couple of good stalls at the Caboolture Markets, have picked up some quite different varietes, also a good stall a Rocklea (good for pachypodiums and cacti), desert roses there is a family in brisbane that goes to at least a couple of the markets and have a great variety. I usually have a chat to see what else they have and when they can bring them along.

thanks guys,
sounds like all markets are they go.
bestwon:- the rocklea cacti are in really good condition, dont you think>?

Yes I agree the Rocklea ones are very good, but I find the caboolture markets better due to more plant stalls and no matter how early I get there it is always packed.
