after reading how some others have been visiting specialist growers.......i decided to go myself today

and this is where i went to.

eau brink cacti just outside king's lynn england

run by Derek Bowdery co-writer of the book ferocactus
he's a very nice man who let me wander round for a couple of hours and answered all my questions.

a few pictures of the nursery for you to see,

a most enjoyable day out.

Hob, that looks like a place I could spend all day at and not get tired! Very nice -It is really neat to see how many places are out there with superb cactus collections.

Look at all those cacti waiting for an unlocked boot

Great looking place Hob. I'd go crazy trying to decide what I'd like to take home

Nice photographs. That guy has been going for quite some time, but I have never got over to see his collection.
