I'm still looking for snow and sun glows. You can get them occasionally on eBay but they go for stupid money (never seen one below £30 for bids) and then there's the issue of plants that are around £20, but just aren't big enough for the asking price. Some sources say it's good to -7 Celsius for har...

Here's one if anyone's interested. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Agave-Shaka-zulu-Succulent-cacti-Arid-Century-Plant-/152205851128?hash=item23702cf9f8:g:V~YAAOSw0fhXmIZW I find that they really exhibit that glow when strongly backlit. My plant(which is only.... 20-30 cm across) definitely shows that bac...

I got mine off ebay (well, not one but a couple....) under the name 'shaku Zulu' or god knows what, something along those lines anyway. Keep looking on there and you'll probably come across one eventually, at not too bad of a price. Or.... http://www.achat-vente-palmiers.com/en/search?controller=sea...

That parrasana looks good. I finally got a fireball from the national show, but I've never seen a striated one before.

I should be able to go. Forgive me if I've missed something, but can you buy tickets on the day, or is it strictly booking only?

I bet there will be a lot with the likes of eau brink going (I think). I've set myself a £60 spending limit, don't know weather it will be followed though.

Sounds about right, I have them crammed in wherever I can. I don't have a load of space to put them in, but that still doesn't stop me. Buy first, think later.

That's amazing, Agave spikes never fail to leave me in awe. How big is the plant? Mines 36 cm high and 42 across and I thought that was big, but yours seems much bigger. Guess I've still got a while to wait for a bloom by the looks of it.

Wow, I want one now!

All of my plants in the greenhouse are bubble wrapped at the moment so I can't really get any pictures. Iv'e got a few inside so I'll get some photos of them.

Hi, thanks for the welcome. Sorry for the err.... Late reply.
