Very nice memories from visits at Joerg, and Brigittes place.
So sad to see the "old" collectors disappear.
I used to have plants of G. pilziorum. I think I "need" to grow this again!

I have enjoyed my visits to his collection and sales. His collection was extraordinary. I'm very sorry to here that he has gone.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.
