The addiction continues, today I went for more plants to the nursery.

Today I am really tired, I worked a lot during the whole day, besides in 6 hours I will be traveling to a place where I was told that I could find colonies of mammillarias in the wild, and of course I am going with the intention of taking pictures and if I see a nice one, I will collect it for my collection, I don't know if it is good or bad to do it, but without a doubt its life will change when it is in a new home.

For the moment I will show you some macro pictures I took once I transplanted my new plants.

  • sedum spurium coccineum

  • crassula rupestris

  • ferocactus emoryi ?

Some of the plants that I bought today are not in the macro pictures due to lack of time, but in the following image you can see the first plants that I bought, as I visited another small nursery.

I then visited the other nursery, the one that is larger and bought the following plants.

In the big nursery I took the following pictures, now with a little more confidence, because as I told you the owner gave me permission to take as many pictures as I wanted.

Look at this beauty, it has a cost of 1300 Mexican pesos, or what is the same 65 dollars, it is not too expensive actually, but with the salaries that we receive in Mexico it does feel hard to buy this beauty.

Finally the plants are starting to look like this, I had to buy more clay pots, but I have to control myself before I go broke, I have been buying too many cactus and succulents, and now that I think about it I have felt it in my pocket, but the fun is worth it.

Wish me some good luck on the trip, hopefully I'll find something good to share with you.

Now that is a rally nice haul! You are worse than me :P
I wish I had a nursery like that nearby (or maybe better not....)

I am curious to see the mammillarias in the wild. Not sure how it works there though and if it is ok to pick them. Some of them might be on endangered list and it is forbidden to so. Maybe it is ok to pick seeds? You would have to check. I definitely want to see the photos in their natural environment though!

The truth is that the walk was quite an adventure, and getting to the mammillarias was a nightmare haha, they are in an inaccessible area, I had to take most of the photos with the 55-250 lens because there was no way to get close, the only pictures I could take up close were of some of these cacti that were solitary, but the colonies were very high, as soon as I finish editing the photos I will upload them to the post.

The first one looks like chocolates. This is the first time that I have seen such succulents.

I definitely thought the same thing when I saw them, I hope it multiplies soon to make it look more spectacular.

You approve and encourage it, at the nursery they just had a virtual liquidation sale at half price and I had to buy some new plants, as soon as I get my car out of the shop I will go to pick them up.
