ISI succulents




For all of you succulent crazed folks out there that don't know the ISI is the plant introduction program of the Huntington, a non-profit organization based out of the world famous Huntington Botanical Gardens in San Marino, Ca. (near Pasadena) Below is a short blurb about them and thier goals. Check the site out for some far out succulents that just might be new to you.

The aim of International Succulent Introductions is to propagate and distribute new or rare succulents to collectors, nurseries and institutions to further research and appreciation of these remarkable plants. Field-collected plants, cuttings or seeds are not sold, only seedlings, grafts and rooted cuttings produced under nursery conditions without detriment to wild populations. Income is used solely to support this program. An annual offering (mail-order only, discontinued each year after September 1) appears in each March-April issue of the Cactus and Succulent Journal and on this website.
