Death Valley Shack Nursery

It has been a little more than 4 months since I wrote the first blog about the seedlings. The photos below are what they look like today. The Notos are a little bigger, but the Gymnos are the same size. 

Notocactus haselbergii

Gymnocalycium tillianum

I planted three different seeds, Echinocereus rigidissimus, Epithelantha bokei, and Mammilaria pilcayensis on the 26th.  The seeds were purchased from Mesa Gardens back in February that have been on ice since then and I'll see what the outcome is, hope its good.
I just placed another order today for Coryphantha pallida, Escobaria vivipara var. bisheeana, Mammillaria senilis, and Pediocactus simpsonii var. nigrispinus. The Pediocactus seed is a variety collected from Jefferson County here in Oregon.
