- Feel like joining me for a cactus sale tour again? Hundreds and hundreds of fantastic cacti and other succulent plants were on offer last Sunday at a plant sale event hosted by the Erlangen-Bamberg local branch of the German Cactus Society (Deutsche Kakteen Gesellschaft e.V.). Another awesome event hosted BY amateur plant hobbyists and enthusiasts FOR plant hobbyists and enthusiasts! Come and see this incredible selection ranging from tiny seedlings to large and mature plants...often in cultivation with their sellers for many decades!
Among others see lot's and lot's of wonderful plants from the following genera: Astrophytum, Ariocarpus, Coryphantha, Echinocactus, Echinopsis, Echinocereus, Ferocactus, Eriosyce, Mammillaria, Thelocactus, Parodia, Notocactus, Strombocactus, Trichocereus ...also many non-cacti succulent plants including Delosperma, Sempervivum, Agave, Aloe, etc.
Despite the hot and sunny weather (...perfect cactus temperatures, reaching around 35 degrees C that afternoon, haha!), I decided to go for a visit - especially as the event was hosted at the visitor center of a local forest adventure trail, so under lot's of trees and shade, and a gentle breeze. And, wow, the visit was definitely truly worthwhile!
Come and join me for another exciting and interesting tour!
Part 2 of the video, with my plant haul at: • Cactus Sale PLANT HAUL...
Cheers,
Joe

Thanks so much, Lyn, as always I just love all your awesome comments and feedback, so much appreciated! Hahaha, I 100% agree with you, there simply HAS to be room for just one more...or better still, several more!!! I have recently been telling a few of my plants to just straighten up a bit and just shuffle down the shelves a bit further and closer together, as there will be (more...) new neighbours moving in soon, hahaha! I really hope they behave and listen for a change! Hope all is well your end, and sending you and Hans very best wishes and cactus greetings for a fantastic Friday evening and also wonderful weekend ahead! Thanks again, Plant Power and Happy Growing!!!
Thank you for inviting us and allowing us to come along on this tour, your videos always reignite the passion for cacti, they had some wonderful cacti but also some very beautiful old cacti also, thank you for bringing us along.
Hi David, thank YOU for watching and coming along on this tour my friend! As always, I really appreciate your awesome feedback and I am so happy to read that you find the videos inspiring and always able to reignite the passion for cacti, thank you, BRILLIANT, as that is the core purpose of my channel of course!! Hope you are having an awesome weekend and sending you lot's of cactus greetings, happy growing!
A great video. A marvelous tour around the Cactus & Succulent sale held by the Erlangen-Bamberg branch of the German Cactus Society. I have felt a healthy envy when watching the event. A great selection and variety of plants and, in my opinion, one of the most important things is that you said "BY amateur plant hobbyists and enthusiasts FOR plant hobbyists and enthusiasts" Greetings from Sapin and enjoy the Sunday!
Hi @CienciayDeporte ! Thanks for your wonderful feedback, much appreciated, and I'm very happy that you enjoyed the plant sale tour! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, hope you are having an excellent week! Best regards and cactus greetings to Spain!
What a treat on the eyes! You can really sense the enthusiasm for cacti and succulents from the sellers and attendees alike at this event. Thanks for sharing this with and providing the translations as well. I can't wait to see the goodies you managed to find and add to your collection!
Brilliant feedback and comments, Justin, thanks so much! Yeah, indeed you are totally right, there was a real buzz in the room at this event...lot's of enthusiasm and cactus energy, with sellers and buyers alike! Haha, omg, the goodies I got, yep coming up in next video soon... I always seem to get carried away and also somehow there is always a mysterious shrink factor in play everytime I get home...while at these events I always seem to remember my greenhouse as being much larger and having so much more space than when I get home ...and reality hits, lol!! As always, thanks so much for watching and joining, hope you have an awesome weekend ahead my friend, and happy growing of course!!
Awesome video, Joe. Some absolutely amazing plants on display and offer there. Really looking forward to seeing what new additions you have. Thank you for sharing with us my friend. Have a wonderful day and upcoming weekend from Edith & myself and happy growing as always 🌵☀️🌼🌺🌸🏜
Brilliant feedback and so happy that you again enjoyed the video tour, many thanks Daz! Yeah, totally agree, I too was quite amazed at how many quite unusual and especially older plants there were on offer! ...I just wish I had a further one or two storeys of growing space on my greenhouse, hahaha! Thanks so much for watching and commenting my friend, and hope you and Edith have a wonderful Friday evening and also weekend ahead! And of course, happy growing!!
They had a little bit of everything! Thanks for taking us along, Joe and again, I can't wait to see what you picked out!
Thank YOU, Terry, for coming along and indeed they did have quite a selection of plants, as you say, something there for everyone! Many thanks once again and indeed that question of what I picked out will be answered soon in an upcoming video! Until then, hope you have a fantastic Friday and weekend ahead, best wishes and happy growing of course!
Fantastic collection of cactus.. mr joe
Thank you so much, Cecilia, greatly appreciated! Makes me very happy to read that you liked the selection and collection of cacti in the video! Hope you are enjoying your day, best wishes, take care and happy growing of course!
Wow Joe what an outstanding video! Thank you so much for taking us with you! That was a beautiful venue to have a show. All the cacti and succulents were awesome, but the show stopper was the breathtaking Echinopsis Hybrid flowers!!! I appreciate you translating the signs and your commentary is so educational and at times just hilarious. You took great footage especially with how many people were there. I really enjoyed the special tour and I wish you a great evening and a Wonderful weekend from Georgia, USA to Bavaria, Germany my friend. It's hot and humid here too and the only rain we get comes with a thunderstorm only in the early evening.
Hey, Jeff! Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments and feedback, really awesome and much appreciated as always! Super that you enjoyed the video tour, many thanks for coming along and joining virtually. Yeah, I 100% agree, that Echinopsis hybrid was a real stunner, and if it had not been unfortunately already taken, I would have definitely added it to my collection, haha! I hear in the news here that you are all suffering under an enormous heat wave in the US too, not good...stay safe and in good health my friend! Sending you lot's of cactus flower greetings from Bavaria, Germany to Georgia, USA, have a fantastic Friday and a great weekend ahead - and happy growing of course!!
Amazing event! Amazing Cactus! Thank you for sharing with us this video Joe! I need to buy some of them, but the last echinopsis for sure 😂
I'm wetting the next video!
Have a beautiful day 🏜🌵🌞🌺
Thanks so much, Elda, as always fantastic to read your wonderful feedback! Yeah, I agree, that last shot with the Echinopsis hybrid, it was wonderful, wasn't it? I can only recommend Echinopsis hybrids, they have such beautiful blooms, and in all colors possible! Thanks for watching, enjoy the rest of your Thursday, best wishes and take care.
Thank you for the information about cactus societies, I will definitely check it out. Always interesting to see everything at the sales!
Thanks Jena and I'm very happy that you found the video and infos useful and interesting! Many thanks for watching and commenting, hope you are having a wonderful day! Lot's of cactus greetings, take care and happy growing of course!
Woah! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, the amount of variety is amazing. Hope you have an amazing weekend! 🌵🌺🌿☺️
Haha, thanks so much, very happy that you enjoyed watching the video and the variety of cacti at the sale! Sending you very best regards and hope you had an awesome weekend, take care and enjoy the week ahead!! And happy growing of course!
Some truly awesome cacti specimens!! can't wait to see what you added to your collection!!😂👏👍🌵
Hi Cherie! Thanks for watching and commenting, yes indeed there were just too many beautiful cacti there once again! I really had to hold myself back, haha! All will be revealed in the upcoming part 2 soon! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, best regards and happy growing of course!
Great video, Joe. I am anxious to see what you could not live without.
Hahaha, Bill, that is a great way to phrase it "...plants that I could not live without" ...the eternal dilemna, ...to buy or not to buy, that is the question, lol!! Thanks so much and very happy of course that you enjoyed the video, many thanks and hope you have a fantastic Friday and also weekend ahead!
Thanks!
You are most welcome! Thanks so much for watching and have a great day!
Thanks for the tour Joe!!! Some spectacular plants at that sale!!! Yeah, really love that Tephrocactus hidden back there!!! Lots of beautiful plants!!! Unfortunately we don't have anything like this near us. The closest cactus nursery is almost 2 hours away from us through the hill county of the Ozarks in Desoto Missouri. My wife said " never again " she's not interested in my love of cactus & succulents. Hers is peonies and the outside flowers!! Hahaha!! The closest cactus & succulents society would be in St.Louis, another 2 hour drive. I've not been to a show since I lived down the street from the Los Angeles County arboretum, 1984, right before I moved here! I know...sad...hang my head in shame!!😞 Hahaha!!! When I first moved here out to the country, the locals & my step fathers family thought, think I'm crazy!!! They said all the plants I brought with me would be dead in a year!!! They wouldn't survive. Wow I still have quite a few left!!! Almost 40 years later!!! My step father was most supportive and helped me build my present greenhouse. People here buy cactus as temporary plants that usually always die. So yeah, I'm kinda a loner out here in the Ozarks country of Pulaski country. Really wish we did have stuff like this!!! It would be great!!! thanks for sharing Joe!!! Very awesome!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪 have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🌿🌻🍀🌹🌴🌱🌸🪴🌾🌷🌳💐😃👍
Many thanks, Clyde, so interesting and wonderful to read all your comments! And I am sooo glad that you stuck with your 'crazy' hobby and have been so succesfully growing all your plants for such a long time - and that in this way you are able to share your fantastic collection with us all! Always so inspiring! Haha, also quite funny to read about your wife and her preference for peonies and outside flowers, that is exactly the same with me and my wife...she much prefers her outside plants and flowers, roses, also many hibiscus and equally peonies...not much time for those gnarly, prickly 'cactuses', hahaha! Hope you are having a fantastic Friday and sending you all very best flower greetings (cactus & others, haha) for a wonderful weekend ahead at Morris Park in the Ozarks my friend, happy growing!!
Really enjoyed that Joe 😎 @6.25 - A snake, a snake ohh, it's a snake 😁 And I do fancy a tray full of Strombocactus 😎Your cactus club is a lot busier than ours, there's usually only 2 or 3 of us bringing plants to sell each month 😁Have a good evening my friend 😊😊🌵🌵
Hey, Ziggy! Thanks so much, really happy that you enjoyed that! Hahaha, indeed, a snake, a snake ohh, it's a snake, lol! It was particularly busy on this occasion as the event was also open of course to anyone from the public who wanted to join, so there were adverts in the local papers, etc. That attracted a lot of interested folks who wanted to see, hear, buy more of these plants! They wanted to get more people who like growing a few cacti to join the local branches and groups! Makes it a lot more fun to have new people join, especially younger people new to the hobby! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend my friend, take care and have a relaxing Saturday evening!!
@@cactusjoe Good to see you understood that 😁🦡🍄🐍We've got some young folk at our cactus meetings now, always good. Have a lovely Saturday my friend 😊😊🌵🌵
Great show! I wish it was closer to me so I could buy a truckload to take home. Looking forward to seeing what treasures you brought home.
Thanks so much, and very happy that you enjoyed the tour and show! Hahaha, ndeed, I always feel like wanting to take a full truckload back home too, but finite space is always the eternal challenge!! I need to start thinking about how to perhaps add a storey or two to my greenhouse, hahaha! Hope you like the plants that I picked up, coming up in the next video! Enjoy your Friday and also weekend ahead, take care and happy growing!
@10:50 there's my examination table!
Ariocarpus fissuratus, here I come!
Hahaha, yes I thought that you would like that! Always a real treat when Ariocarpus are arranged all together in a larger group! Thanks for watching and commenting, appreciated!
Love your shirt!! Great tour of the show. ❤😊🌵🌵🌵🌱👍 just obtained a succulent from my wish list. Sedum Multicep. 😊
Hi Dave, many thanks, really happy that you enjoyed this latest cactus show and tour! Thanks so much for joining and for your brilliant feedback! Haha, thanks, a t-shirt like that is a must-wear when going on special events and tours like these, lol, helps you blend in to the plants and crowd much better!! Congrats on your new purchase, that is a wonderful succulent plant you got yourself there, Sedum multiceps, it can be grown like a succulent plant bonsai, truly beautiful!
Those Sedum multicep have such a cool texture to them.
@@1neAdam12 completely agree! fantastic plants!
Thanks, it looks like it must of been fun to be there🍃
Thanks so much, Tom! Yes indeed it was a lot of fun there and it was just amazing to see once again how many wonderful plants were on offer and being sold or swapped between growers and hobbyists! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, hope you are having a wonderful weekend, take care and best wishes!
Great video. Unfortunately, we in Croatia do not have a society of cacti and succulent lovers, nor the possibility to get cheaper cacti, seeds or to exchange cacti with each other. So, I openly express my personal envy. Anyway, I enjoy watching your videos and look forward to the next one.
Hi there! Many thanks indeed for all your fantastic feedback, I'm very happy that you are enjoying the videos, much appreciated! Really sorry to read that there is nothing comparable around you - would it be an opportunity perhaps to get a few cactus friends together and just start a new cactus & succulent group of like-minded people? Many groups here meet very informally too. And what has been important here, is to always also invite people from the public to join these events, in order to slowly grow the community of interested cactus hobbyists. Anyway, just an idea, but I appreciate it is probably much easier said than done. Thanks again and sending you very best cactus greetings to Croatia, take care and hope you are having a wonderful day!
Thank you Joe for this wonderful video I would like to see more tour videos should you go anywhere else I'm a little jealous since we don't have anything like that in the area where I live ha ha
Hi Kim, really wonderful to read all your comments and feedback, thank you! Yep, definitely noted, I will try and put more tour videos together from upcoming visits, events and venues! So sorry to read that there are no similar events in your area. Are there perhaps any other cactus and succulent plant growers and enthusiasts in the area, with whom you could at least quite informally start some get togethers, swaps, visits, or so? Keeping my fingers crossed and hope that something materialises. Thanks for joining and sending very best regards for an awesome weekend ahead!
@@cactusjoe thank you Joe so much have a great weekend looking forward to seeing new videos 😄
Thank you Joe I really enjoyed the tour and here wishing I was there shopping with you sooooo much goodies. I love love astrophytums and the big ferro cactus. Iam a member of the Barbados cactus and succulent society here in the Caribbean but we are small. Thank you again for this video. Also your shirt i would like to know where you got your shirts.
Hi Marlene, many thanks for watching and for your wonderful feedback, really super! And also brilliant to hear that you are a member of the Barbados Cactus & Succulent Society! I suppose you have opportunities then to meet up with like-minded folks there too? Perhaps also organising sales and show events like these? Yes, indeed, I would have liked to take you all along, but at least we had a chance to visit together 'virtually'.
Yeah, fully agree with you, the Astros and also large Feros were among my favorites too! Thanks, glad you liked the shirt too, it was a present from my daughter! She says she got it from a cool little store on Etsy, called OhioOutfit. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Thanks for another great video and for taking us along on this joyful tour 👍🏻
By the way: At the moment I have an internship at one of my local "vegetable farmers" (it's called "Gärtnerei Fuldaaue"; they are a rather small business and do most of the work still "by hand" and not with "big machines", it's definitely a great experience to work there for some weeks) and now it was the perfect "timing" for a new upload to have a relaxed "Feierabend" by watching your tour 😎 I think a day couldn't be any better than doing gardening-work during daytime and then having a great evening seeing this wonderful show.
Now to the meeting itself: There were definitely many absolutely stunning specimens, I think one doesn't even really know where to look first when there are dozens of amazing plants. And the prices seem "unbeatable" again I would say, haha 😅
Furthermore, I very much liked the "written commentary" in this video, was a great way to lead us through the adventure.
Oh, and you seem to have much great "Cacti-Merch", indeed amazing T-Shirt (as others already mentioned too😉).
I can't wait to see what you have got from the sale, see you then! :)
Hallo Jacob! Thanks so much, as always I really, really enjoyed readi ng all your comments and feedback! And of course wonderful to hear that you once again enoyed the tour, thanks for joining! Yeah you are right, there were so many fantastic plants that I found it rather difficult to stay focussed, and where to look first, as you say! Super also to read that the video was perfectly timed for a bit of Feierabend relaxation on your end! Wow, sounds like you are having a great time working at that local nursery and traditional-style vegetable producer. It definitely reminds me of my pre-student days when I did the same, and I enjoyed it so much, also one learns so much - and it all helps with growing one's own plants at home! Thanks, glad you liked the lates cactus t-shirt too, I got it as a present from my daughter - in case you are interested, she said she got it on Etsy, a cool little shop called OhioOutfit. Have a wonderful weekend ahead, stay safe and especially, stay cool! (...omg, just saw that looks like tomorrow is predicted to have temps going up to 38 C, yikes!). Kakteengrüße nach Kassel!
And I always enjoy reading your answers to my comments! 👍🏻😉
Right now I have the urge to write to you once again about the hailstorm: The plants on my balcony (apart from the ones that I immediately had put in the waste bin) luckily "collected new power" during the last 3 weeks so that most of them now look very good again.
BUT today I read on the website of the "Kakteenfreunde Friedrich Ritter Kassel e.V." that their greenhouse in the botanical garden got completely devastated too, there were two pictures on the homepage, and you can see that it's indeed a huge mess (the glass is completely destroyed, I hope that not too many plants got hurt😞). According to them, their collection is now going to be closed until Summer 2024, when they will get a new-build...
In spite of this sad message, I nontheless wish you a great weekend! :)
@@jacobsiebert2204 wow, that is EXCELLENT news to read about your plants on the balcony, Jacob, having regained new strength and looking much better again now after that terrible hailstorm in Kassel! But, also truly TERRIBLE news about the greenhouse, my goodness, that is indeed sooo sad to read!!! The only "good" aspect, I suppose is that this happened during the warm summer period, and not with freezing temperatures outside in the winter! Otherwise that would have been the almost guaranteed death of most of the plants! I hope that they are able to rebuild the greenhouse very quickly again before the coming winter! Thanks for letting me know about this news. Hope you are staying cool! We had 38C in the shade in the garden here about an hour ago...and I stopped looking at the thermometer in my greenhouse, haha! Enjoy your Saturday evening and Sunday ahead! Kakteengrüße nach Kassel!
Yes, that is indeed excellent that my plants got relief and look healthier now again. I think it also shows that many plants are more durable than one might think. For example my Zauberglöckchen had just a few branches left after the hailstorm but now they are full of blooms again, just wonderful 🤩 And also my strawberry plant (luckily😉) started to grow many new leafs.
To the greenhouse: You're absolutely right, if these hailstones would have come down in the winter months, surely most of the plants wouldn't have made it. The "good" thing is that - in spite of the hailstorm - they already planned to build a new, bigger greenhouse for a few years and only couldn't realize it already because of the costs (I think the one that got destroyed was from the 70'ies, so already very old and nevertheless necessary to renew it) but I hope that they manage to rescue the plants before the winter so that they won't get struck by frost.
What is problematic is that at the moment they can't access the plants because everything is still full of broken glass 😬 I hope they find a solution for that.
Regarding the weather: Here in Kassel it wasn't SO hot, I think maximum was about 30° Celsius, but it's quite humid so it feels a bit like being in the rainforest, haha 😅 We also had a bit of rain a hour ago 🌧
Sending you happy-growing-wishes to Bavaria! 🌵😎
Nice tour i realy want a Strombocactus disiformus but the seeds cost 10 seeds for 1,5€ so i found the red flowering its the same but called Strombocactus Pulcherrimus and 100 seeds are 1,5€ so i will be growing Strombocactus Pulcherrimus and not disiformus
Hey Anders! Thanks very much for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed the tour once again! getting the red-flowering Strombocactus is a great idea as it is meant to be even more beautiful then the yellow-white ones. I do not have that one myself yet! Lot's of luck and success with raising it from seeds! Enjoy your Thursday evening!
what a beautiful trip,curious what you purchased 🍀
Many thanks, Christina, very happy that you enjoyed the trip, thanks for watching and for your wonderful feedback! Indeed, there will be a separate video coming along soon, to show my plant haul from this visit, haha! Have a great day, happy growing!
That rummaged thru table at the end for 5€ each? What a deal!
@@1neAdam12 yeah indeed, for that reason I always find it worthwhile to hang around these shows until the end, haha! So, coming early helps get some of the real beauties on offer, and staying late helps the wallet to recover a bit again, lol!
Im trying to sell some of mine. I dont have room indoors...
I know the feeling, space is always an issue! Hope you are able to find a new home for the cacti you are selling, Michelle! Perhaps another viewer on this channel, closer to your location, would be interested?
