Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

Lovely, Ralph.

I’ve been so close to throwing away the othonna tuberosa I got from you over the last couple of months because I was convinced it was dead. It’s just come into leaf in the last week or so. Glad I forgot about it!
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.

Hi All,
A first for me , Euphorbia Piscidermis, own roots flowering.
even grafted plants don't flower often.

This is a lovely flower on an odd plant, ceropegia dichotoma.
I have kept it as it came from Doug Rowland but its not the prettiest plant.

My little Aloe flowering again. Can't remember the variety name, pale green and white speckled leaves.
He was sent to me a few years ago by our member Heather.

You can take the boy out of the greenhouse, but you can't take the greenhouse out of the boy!

I have that Monadenium but like a few others it’s reluctant to really get going this year.

A lovely surprise in my "community pot" of epiphytic cacti after almost 2 weeks away. This one came from Ralph I believe, but I lost labels from this pot long time ago. More flowers on their way!
