Looking for native SC cacti

8 years ago

There are a few species of prickly pear cacti that are native to South Carolina. I have Opuntia humifusa, which is the most widespread. I'm looking for the following:

O. pusilla/drummondii
O. stricta
O. tunoidea
O. macrartha

If you can offer a couple of pads from any of these, and especially if you have specimens from South Carolina populations, please let me know! At the moment, I don't have much I can offer for trade. Pretty much limited to the following:

Opuntia fragilis, propagated from western South Dakota population, near Sturgis
Euphorbia tirucalli 'rosea' (pencil plant, firestick plant), 3-4" cutting

I have several species of tuberous aroids that are all growing right now. If you don't mind waiting several months, I can offer some in the fall/winter when they go dormant:

Amorphophallus henryi
Amorphophallus konjac "Leo's song" and "Nightstick"
Amorphophallus kiusianus, seed-grown plants, and may have offsets
Amorphophallus lewallei
Amorphophallus maxwellii (maybe)
Amorphophallus mossambicensis "Inhajange form"
Amorphophallus myosuroides
Amorphophallus ongsakulii
Amorphophallus pulchellus
Typhonium varians
Sauromatum giganteum
Sauromatum venosum
normal form and "Indian Giant"

If none of those interest you, I'm happy to pay for shipping, or meet you if you live within an hour or so of Columbia.
