The Cactus Explorers Club


« Echinopseen » is published by the working group « Freundeskreis Echinopseen ». What is that group ?
The group was formed in 1981 under the name "Zentrale Arbeitsgemeinschaft Echinopseen" in the former East Germany. It brought together enthusiasts of  Lobivia, Rebutia, Echinopsis, Trichocereus Sulcorebutia and Weingartia. Its aim was to deepen the knowledge about these plants, study their culture and propagation. An "Informationsbrief" was published twice a year.
In 1996, the group is taken over by the DKG (Deutsche Gesellschaft Kakteen) under the name "Freundeskreis Echinopseen" while keeping the same goals. The magazine is still published on a biannual basis.
The group also meets twice a year in Ruhla / Thuringia. The meeting lasts a whole weekend. One can attend lectures but also exchange or buy plants.
The annual subscription to the group is 25 € (28 € outside Germany). This price including 2 issues of the magazine "Echinopseen."
