We had a very successful show, good weather, plenty of visitors, few sales plants left at the end.

Re: Sheffield Branch Show June 3rd & 4th
Was a great event last year - shame I couldn't make it up from Nottingham this year.
Some cracking plants in the background caught my eye - I'm assuming a cyphostemma and maybe euphorbia bupleurifolia peaking above the sheet of paper?

Growing in Nottingham for the past 4 years and recently found my way to a Nottingham branch meeting. A few plants on a windowsill has very quickly turned into a greenhouse full!
Attempting to grow a range of turbinicarpus, coryphantha, escobaria and several other cactus genera. Tylecodons, pelargoniums and conophytums keep me occupied in the winter and an ever expanding number of gasteria live under the bench.
