Re: Opuntia name and rescue mission..

Thanks to you both :grin: Think I shall get it hydrated first and repot in a bit then. I've plenty of suitable pots Chris, that's just how it arrived. In fact, I arrived home to find it on the greenhouse floor with a note stuck on the front door of the house!! :lol: Would you say 1/3 to 1/2 of the f...

Opuntia name and rescue mission..

Ok guys and girls, I was given this by a friend of a friend as they knew I was 'into' cacti. However, I'm no Opuntia guy so have no idea on the species and the condition looks pretty poor too. It looks like it might have been put outside and forgotten about perhaps. Help with the name would be appre...

Re: Just wondering on this label...

I hadn't forgotten about this post, I've just been waiting for the flowers to open on the Echinopsis / Lobivia. I couldn't remember from last year and couldn't manage to find a picture of it. With the weather as it was, it was kind of static since I made this post until this week. Now it looks as th...

Re: Label printing...

Thanks everyone for contributing so much info to this thread! Its definitely been helpful :grin: I think I've decided on the brother P-Touch 1230PC. I definitely like the sound of a handheld in the greenhouse but I have a huge back log of labels to get through - so much typing! :shock: Besides, I ju...

Re: Label printing...

Thanks for the suggestions :smile: I will probably lean towards the Brother one then as I'd already come across that one whilst browsing. Sounds like I should be cataloguing my collection on excel or something before it gets any bigger - is that the best way to organise things and keep track? I supp...

Label printing...

Was thinking of buying a Brother GL-H105 label machine and was just wondering if anyone is using one of them at the moment?

Hoping for a recommend before I make the purchase and then realize I should have got something else.

Thanks everyone.

Re: Auction of the collection of the late Peter Burton Solved

Apart from yourself Mat it was mainly Johns and Petes I seemed to meet :grin: I'm proud to be the new custodian of some of your plants P...
