Also František Šibal from the Czech Republic has updated his seed lists. The list can be inquired via email. Send me a message if you want me to send you his email address (I don't want to publish it online). The list mostly contains South American cacti.

The circle of updated seedlists has restarted.

František Nechvíl has updated his seedlist. See: www.kaktusynechvil.cz

This is a notice to inform you that on 9 September Leo van der Hoeven passed away at the age of 78. He traveled a lot to countries with succulents together with others and visited ELK multiple times, so I suspect many of you might have known him.

I sowed seed in March and these two are the result. I didn’t realise they were winter growers and have had them outside since June. Should I just carry on now and let them rest next year? I sort of have the same problem. I sowed a mix of seeds in spring. I had no idea what was in the mix, but appar...
