We specialize in hard-to-acquire exotic plants, as well as natural history and botanical/nature art, artifacts, corals, and fossils/minerals. Bookmark us, as the items we offer continually change.

Please note: We Never Sell Seed.

Online Catalogue

Our virtual store is open 24/7 and is continually updated as we bring in new species and sell out others. Many of the species listed are available in limited quantities, some only one or two of each. Many of the more rare species are available nowhere else and are offered once and never again. We specialize in rare species and large size plants. You will find that our caudiciforms and other succulents are good sizes, not small seedlings. Ordering through our web site is safe, convenient and secure. Unlike other suppliers, we do not share your private information with anyone. Period.

plus 15% shipping via cash, check or money order, Visa, MasterCard, Discover/Novus or American Express.

Note Regarding Cold Weather Shipping

We ship plants during cold weather, insulating them with bubble wrap and have never had a problem using this method. We also offer 60 hour heat packs at no charge. We are happy to hold your paid order and ship when the weather improves. Please understand that we can take no responsibility for plant damage due to cold.

International Shipping

All plants not covered by CITES can be shipped internationally with the following exception. Recent changes in the phytosanitary requirements of the European Union make it impossible to get a Phyto for shipments to these countries.Thus:Phytosanitary certificates are NO LONGER AVAILABLE for the EUROPEAN UNION

Plants which are covered by CITES and therefore can only be sent to the USA, include all Cacti, Aloe, Euphorbia, Pachypodium, Anacampseros, Orchids and Cycads. Minimum foreign order is $150 plus 25% shipping with a credit card. International orders can be processed through our virtual store and are usually shipped via EMS (U.S. Global Express Mail). All plants leave our nurseries in excellent condition. Please be aware that international shipments must go through your customs and agricultural departments, and we cannot control or prevent any delays or losses which might be caused once plants leave our country.
