That was interesting to watch. I have had trouble finding good pots, or at least pots that I like, I shall expand where I am looking and who knows, maybe I'll find one or two.

Re: Don't forget the On-Line talk on tuesday
Try car boot sales & if you have local bonsai clubs ask if they are having any 'bonsai boot sales' I get some nice smaller pots at these for a reasonable /cheap price.
I thought it was very useful & some handy tips from Karen, not sure where I could store so many different colour gravels.
It was nice seeing the examples of pots that matched plants or did not.

Re: Don't forget the On-Line talk on tuesday
Dash it, I came home and just fell asleep. I really wanted to see this one on Australian succulents. I don't suppose it is available anywhere?
Is there any way for us to get any of these weird plants? They don't seem to have many seeds on the website.

It's a different one, but not less interesting by any means! Just be quick, I don't think it'll be online for long: Attila Kapitany, "Rock and Tree Dwelling Succulents of Australia" - https://www.facebook.com/CactusAndSuccu ... 7141239926
PS: I really enjoy the way Atilla's talks are structured and executed, such a joy to watch!

Re: Don't forget the On-Line talk on tuesday
It was certainly a fun presentation to watch . Although I would have liked to know the names of the 'teaser plants'...!
I say, book parts II and III in for the coming year!

Re: Don't forget the On-Line talk on tuesday
So now we have to check on more than one thread to see what talks are on?
It appears the "Don't forget the talk on Tuesday" thread was forgotten.
