Re: British Museum Exhibit revisited
Thanks, Eddie - much better photos than the ones I took
Ever hopeful, trying to grow plants from arid sunny climates in the UK!
Lithops, Haworthia, Adromischus, other south African succulents including Ceropegia and some Crassula.

Re: British Museum Exhibit revisited
Glad you like them Lindsey - I forgot to put them up earlier.
It must have taken you forever to get there - it took me long enough! Travelling across London is really time-consuming.
Devrim - It was a good exhibit - it's a shame there aren't more of them

Re: British Museum Exhibit revisited
Nice pictures Eddie and thanks for the link.
What happened to the exhibit later in the year? Did any plants 'walk'?

Re: British Museum Exhibit revisited
Certainly a lovely display,
That tree like aloe is lovely, was this advertised ?.
I reckon some of the pachypodium went in the bin, they look unhappy.Did any plants 'walk'?

Re: British Museum Exhibit revisited
Hi All
The photos were taken about last August. the show ran till October it was a joint effort between Kew and British Museum.
The plants were allocated to a project after the exhibition (Camden Council, to be killed one expects)

From the British Museum Website:
It was widely advertised on the TV, Web http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/a ... scape.aspxand mentioned in this forum .What happens next?
When the landscapes are dismantled, plants are given to Camden Council to be planted outdoors
for the enjoyment of people in the area. Those
that cannot survive permanently outdoors are
grown at Kew.
