Their orders are for dozens of the same variety or for even hundreds of mixed-variety deliveries. <br />There’s no customer service desk, but the owner Jose Huerta or one of a few workers who can price a specimen for you. I’ve found it most workable to gather the few cactus I want and then ask for a price for the lot of six to ten items. <br />My next visit (maybe this week), I hope to buy enough to warrant his delivery; nevertheless I’ll be driving my minivan with lots of spent bicycle tubes to hold cactus in place.
