Cactus and Succulent Review

Post by Sheila »

Hi,

This is just to let you know that the March issue of the Cactus and Succulent Review is now available at
https://www.cactusandsucculentreview.org.uk/index.html

I have something special for you this time, two articles which include newly-described species. See Contrasting cotyledons by Colin C. Walker and Sansevierias in Tanzania by Al Laius.

Plenty more besides. Enjoy

Best wishes
Sheila

Just had a quick scan.
Lots of good stuff to read at leisure later.
Thank you ...again for a quality read
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.

Apart from being well worth reading, subscribing to the Cactus & Succulent Review, which is free, leads to discounted admission to 'Cactus at the Castle' this September. There's over 20 nurseries signed up so far and lots more happening there.

Re the fine Denmoza rhodacantha article, I have some Denmoza seed along with some other stuff collected in Mendoza last year if anyone wants some free of charge. PM me please.

That's another one added to the wanted list :lol:

I'm wondering if the fork in the trunk is due to the growing point being damaged in a previous winter?

It is just what it does when it gets to a certain size.
