I've checked STC Phil but not in their listings at present. I've e-mailed them to ask if they will have in 2008.

Mike.

Anybody know where I can get one? Plants or seeds.

Mike.

Welcome Gillian, my annual trip to the Witney show is always made worthwhile by your plants.

Mike.

Paul, I've just realised that you must be the Paul that wrote that excellent article on hardy Agaves.

Thanks Paul.

The problem is that ferox is now too big to get back into the greenhouse.

I have left it out in the garden before but completely bubble wrapped. This year I have double fleeced it.

We shall see!

I may not do many seeds next year. I did so many last year which germinated well and acquired other plants from you very kind people that space is becoming limited.



Then again I shall probably weaken........

I am intending to try a hardy Agave garden next year- all rubble and gravel etc.

Would Aloe ferox survive outdoors in this if fleeced (as now but in a pot)? It is already big but needs even more room.

My lithops have also been poor this year and no sign of flower on Ariocarpus retusus which flowered last year.

Fero. latispinus v. flavispinus has 2 decent sized buds but I don't think they are going to make it.

Mike.

Marlon, have you degrafted and rooted Discocactus or Uebelmannia?

I intend to next spring so any advice would be very welcome!

Mike.

Thanks Marlon. The Arrojadoa was from that listing.

The Stephanocereus is in with the Melos and Stapeliads etc.at about 52F min.

Mike.
