Great to see the plants, even if only on the screen. Thanks for making and sharing the video!

For those interested, I made a little video of my experience: https://youtu.be/0i1Xt0h9ae8
Well done for entering and for getting third place. Video link not working for me at present, but will look later.

Great video and well done on your 3rd place. The Copiapoa class is always very competitive so it's a difficult one to win a certificate in.

We'll be seeing Gareth Darbon again at the Autumn Cactus and Succulent Show at Harlow Carr where he is the show's judge.

Thanks Tracey- the copiapoa class was certainly competitive! :lol:

Does Gareth being judge at Harlow Carr mean he won't be able enter any plants? :?:

Damned good question
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.
