California Cactus Center

The inspiration

Many of the plants on display today are descendants of his original collection¹ .

What to order

• The cardón (Pachycereus pringlei): a giant columnar cactus, sometimes called the saguaro of Baja California, that thrives in local conditions .^2,3
• Crested Myrtillocactus geometrizans: an unusual crested form that caught one plant blogger's eye .³
• A potted succulent with pottery or decorative rock: the nursery carries both rare and common specimens alongside pottery, rocks, and accessories .⁴

What people are saying

Visitors keep coming back to the sheer range of plants, praising the wide variety of rare and unusual options not commonly found elsewhere³ . One garden blogger found the compact lot packed with treasures, many of which even seasoned horticulturists have likely never seen^2,3 .
