</font></div>
<font face="times new roman, serif" size="4">Spring has
arrived after another winter of erratic and
unpredictable weather. While some plants have tolerated
the manic swings from unseasonal warm and dry, to deluge
and cold, many others have suffered. This was yet
another winter where many of our <i>Trichocereus</i>
growing outside have sustained considerable damage. Not
as extensive as the previous winter, but still far worse
than we’re use to. This will continue to effect what
cuttings we have to offer this year. Despite these, and
a worrying number of other losses, we do have some new
offerings in the works including a spectrum of seedlings which we’ll
release in the coming months—first
release <i>Trichocereus</i> hybrids, rare <i>Bursera </i>&<i>
Boswellia</i>, Andean species, and unusual Edibles
& Medicinals.</font></div>

<div style="font-size: large;"> <font face="times new roman,serif" size="4">We're aware
there is some
confusion out there
around our <i>Trichocereus</i>
BK<i> </i>accessions
distributed over the
years. For clarity, we
recently began work on
a document that
catalogs all 40+ of
these field accessions
together in one place.
While fleshing out the
descriptions more
thoroughly, we're
incorporating greater
detail about the
Andean habitat of each
collection, including
companion plants
associates, plus
additional ethnobotany
and regional history.
We also recognize the
value in sharing
information about
distribution -- what
year we originally
introduced an
accession into
cultivation, what it
was (seed, cuttings,
seedlings), what has
been distributed over
the ensuing years, and
approximate
quantities. It turns
out that all this is a
<i>much</i> larger
undertaking than we'd
first anticipated! In
our scant 'spare'
time, we've been
looking over <i>thousands</i>
of photos, reading
through our old field
notes, two decades of
<i>Sacred Succulents</i>
catalogs, and hundreds
of pages of <i>SS</i>
supplements, rare
plant lists, etc, not
to mention additional
reference material. We
now endeavor to work
on this in stages,
updating the webpage
periodically, with the
goal to have the
entire project
completed summer 2025.
Expect more
descriptions and
images to be posted
soon!<br>
