Re: I D on Mammillaria Elongata please

Hi Alec

Derek Bowdery has over 30 forms of elongata, so you could build a collection of them!

Re: Echeveria roots?

I think they have quite shallow roots. I had a E elegans (supposedly) growing happily for a year on a paving slab. Unhappily it didn't survive spending a few days under a mound of snow from the greenhouse roof.

Re: introduce myself

Hi Eddie, nice to see you on the forum.:welc:
Having had the privilege of seeing your plants in the greenhouse as well as at shows I can confirm that photos would make an impressive addition to the forum!

Great colours, Tom. I'd love that Fene, but it would probably not make that colour over here. Dribble, drool!

Re: south Norfolk show

Another swift post, Hob! I was wearing my Forum, but must have see others members without realizing it. It was good to see such a fine display of plants from what is a fairly small branch.

There's a lot of sensible advice in the earlier replies, and you've got some decent height to play with in your frame. You'll soon fill it tho!
