Re: February 2024: Adromischus

Adromischus halesowensis ??. I rescued this at the back end of 2022 from Roy Mottrams greenhouse. Not in the best condition but is improving. Sadly I could not read all the field data on what was left of the label. Its in a 7inch clay half pot. I don't have any more Adromischus.

Re: My avonia quinaria won’t root and it’s been almost a year. Please send help

Sadly the same fate awaits the many hundreds/thousands shown in the pictures above. Doomed to die a slow death. Who knows how much time elapses between being dug up and finally sold to a collector. Its collectors who are driving the market. I don't think you will get the plant to root no matter what...

Re: BCSS AGM 2024 - Unappealing photo!

It matters not what the outside looks like, the only thing that matters is what goes on in the inside on the day. Its not a social event. I think the Society has more to worry/think about than what the building for the AGM looks like. Those who want to attend will do so wherever and whatever the bui...

Re: December: Winter

Hello citizens of the UK. I am an Othonna, alien to the UK, moaning at being here in your winter. My DNA insists on me growing in your cold wet miserable climate. As a reward for helping me to survive I flower but sadly I am not as good looking or in as good shape as my relatives in South Africa. Th...

Re: December: Winter

I am X pachyveria corvus. My owner has been naughty and brought me in from outside to photograph me. I love winter time, rain, snow wind, minus 6 what's not to like, I am even having a baby I like it so much. My owner is now putting me back outside before I protest at being too warm.
