Title: A visit to a nursey in Thailand
Post by: Simon on Wednesday, 04 April 2012 - 12:16:19

Hello All,
I've been away for a while and in my travels I had a chance to visit Uncle Chorn's Cabin, a nursery over there. What I saw took my breath away!
Unfortunately after a few hundred photo's my camera battery went flat before I got pictures of the best stuff in his separate house for breeding quality plants. Anyway it is an excuse to go back again sometime because what I didn't photograph was the best!
Enjoy!

It was amazing there. I now call Thailand 'habitat for cultivars'!
There are Ariocarpus and more to come...

Hi and thanks.
C+D... The myrios at the back were close to a meter tall. Average was about 50-60cm, the one front corner was around 35cm. They used big gravel top dressing which makes the plants look smaller.
Dan .. Bit of a sad story there. The recent floods there were 260cm deep and even though the whole nursery was set on walkways about 120cm and the bench level was probably at 220cm lots of stock was damaged. The young bloke who showed me around told me many plants were forty years old and planted by his grandfather. Loosing so many had been hard for him. He said at night the plants he was able to raise higher than flood level had become islands, the hungry rats swam in and ate holes in MANY plants. There was also heaps of water snails that had damaged things too. I'll show some photos of the damage later because, even though I have lost some amazing stuff over the years, I felt like I was lucky compared to the absolute sacrilege that had occurred there.
So anyway he had lots of empty benches and needed all his seed for re-population. He was very generous with seeds from some beautiful things but clearly there was not much to spare.
