    Hi All...
    My partner and I have recently moved from San Francisco, CA to Tucson, AZ. I collect mostly succulent plants from East/South africa, Madagascar, and a few from South America and North America Most of my plants are Old world. So I don't have a lot of Cactus, but there are a few. The Primary criteria for me is how effectively can a plant protect itself...through spines, thorns, caustic/poisonous sap, or perhaps a caudex structure. How deadly is the plant? For example, Adeniums have wonderful flowers but the sap is neuro-toxic. Very odd qualities is another criteria for my group Stepaliads often have flowers that mimic rotting meat and use flies for pollinators. Any way I am happy to be in Tucson, my plants are all thrilled at being here...and so a new chapter begins, So, I am looking for several plants. Some maybe even native to The southwest. If you grow any of these or have seed, and are willing to sell, this 70 year old gardener is ready, willing and able to buy. Her's what I a seeking:

    Solanum rostratum
    Solanum hindsianum
    Solanum tridynamum
    Solanum elaeagnifolium
    Cnidoscolus spinosus

    I look forward to being a part of the group.

    Thanks,
    Ed
