Re: Selling plants - Plant passports - Inspection
They are a complete waste of time in my opinion. It was proven a while ago these plant passports had nothing to do with helping to prevent the spread of pests and diseases and everything to do with the government once again getting money off of people every which way they can. I can sell plants from...

Did my Euphorbia symmetrica purge its seeds?
So about a month ago I managed to successfully pollinate one of my Euphorbia obesa with symmetrica. Today I noticed most of the seed pods had fallen off the plant, without any of them exploding as I thought they would. I removed the husks but the seeds don’t look quite right, or don’t look how I exp...

Photographing the plants is another passion of mine, as well as growing them of course!

Hello. Is your dad a BCSS member too? My dad passed away some time ago, but I’m sure if he was still here he would likely be a member. But he started collecting way back in the 1990’s. Unfortunately I only have one plant of his in my collection, we lost the rest through a combination of things, his...

Hello from Cactimania
Hi all, I'm Daz. I joined the BCSS last year but thought it was also time to join the forum, although I have been a lurker on here for some time. Been around cacti and succulents for most of my life as my dad had a fairly sizeable collection many years ago, but only got into them myself around 5 or ...
