There will be a sale of plants from the collection of the late chairman of Stoke branch Chris Dean.
Nearly all cacti with just a few 'others'. A few will have a fixed price the rest will be for a donation.
All the money raised will be split equally between the BCSS conservation fund and the Dougie Mac Hospice.
Cash Only

The event is taking place on,
27th April
10am till 2pm


Location
5 Wren View,
Loggerheads,
Market Drayton.

Queries to myself via messages on here. I have included some general photos. Looking forward to seeing your bulging wallets losing some weight.

With insecticide.
It would be a shame given the discussion on the forum if the Preston-Mafham, Alfred Lau legally collected seed and plants were to die.

And therein lies the dichotomy
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Quick before the society is closed down(just kidding :roll: )
Get your old and new plants here, plenty of cacti to suit all ranges of skills from absolute beginner to expert.
The two photos show Copiapoa in all its various forms apart apart from the first which have two different but largish Denmozas.

Some nice Mammillaria available, the wooden ruler is a is an old 12" one to match the age of the plant.
Using Ralph's excellent Field Number Database REP978 = 1975.
