Uebelmannia

Help! Where can I find any?? Would like any of these species... U pectinifera, flavispina, or buiningii. Lester Meyers doesn't have them on his catalogue, no where else I've looked has either (other than seeds and I'm too impatient) soooo if anyone can help me with some for sale or swap please let me know! Of all the things on my wishlist this has been the most elusive...
Cheers, Uebelmanniaphile Lis :D

Try www.health-harvest.com.au/ They have Uebelmannia seed. Also try the Combined Exotic Plant Show next June. Regards Didge

Hallo Didge. Am now resigned to the fact that I will probably have to grow them from seed after all... it seems my only last hope for finding an actual plant now is the Combined Exotics Plant Show you've mentioned, which has been permanant markered in my diary since visiting the Gardens last December!!
Cheers, Lis :D

Hi Lissie, I grow very few cacti but I know these plants are available in Brisbane, however you do need to join the QLD Cactus & Succulent Soc. to access the contacts. Try http://powerup.com.au/~cssq. This will take you to our web page and lots of interesting links that may open up a larger world for you.

Here is a link that might be useful: QLD CACTUS & SUCCULENT SOC. INC.

Have you tried Rudolf Schulz? www.tarrex.com.au He has done a whold book on Uebelmannias in habitat. Pretty sure he has grown plants as well. He can be emailed from his web page and you could ask him.
