That is so typical! I live in Mexico at the moment. That means: no sub zero temperatures never. Found myself the greatest plant market I have ever seen and bought one CP of each kind, even separated some with babies. And what happens next? Hail! Turning all my Droseras and my Dionea into this:  |

You mean like this?  That was in jardines de México, though. |

There is an amazing CP trader right in the center of that market. The first time I went I had already bought CPs randomly from other more random traders. The second time I wanted to specifically go there to browse and talk, but he was on a CP convention.  |

Pictures of the CP's in the market would be great. Are any seeds available?

Regretfully I don't know. I only caught a brief glimpse of the store. But I saw the owner actively propagating plants. I can't believe he wouldn't collect seeds, too.
After the hailstorm massacre I'm determined to go back there as soon as possible. And get all the info, promise.

Alright, tomorrow I'll be at the market again. I already plan to ask about species and if there are seeds for sale.
I'm also going to take some pictures and post them here the first chance I get.
I'll be there around 9am central time (10am in Ontario, 7am in B.C.) and stay for at least an hour, so if there's anything of interest, you can let me know within that time frame.

I'm curious about the odder cacti, like Ariocarpus but I'm almost sure they would be wild collected. Pictures would be nice anyway. Ping seeds would have to be fresh, if available.
