These Echinopsis plants are best seen in May and June rather than December! The showhouses are open to the public from spring to late autumn, and in winter by appointment. Note: Sadly, Terry Hewitt died in 2006 aged just 63, and I believe these magnificent show and sales houses, which are no longer being heated, are unavailable to the public, except by appointment. Final note: It's all gone, thousands of unusual plants dead - what a waste.
