Jean-René Catrix

Passion de Cactus

Thanks to Jean-René to offer his book published in 1988.

Under copyright

This book (220 pages) describes cacti and other succulents in a very simple way for beginners as well as specialized enthusiasts interested in culture tricks and historical aspects. Some data are now out of date because they are too old (plant and seed retailers, cactus clubs, phytosanitary products…), but the book is still of great value owing to the number of subjects that are dealt with. There are no plant photos, but many very nice drawings by Thérèse Ayrinhac.
