Re: Seed list

Don't worry, our seed distributor has around 450 orders to fill now that he has the seed but hopes to have all in the post by the end of this week.

Re: ladies versus Men Solved

This seems a ridiculous thread but to stop speculative comments based on lack of information I can tell you that of our members who have a gender specific title (Miss, Mrs, Ms) only 26% are female, 74% are male.

Re: Interesting chimera on eBay

Between Astrophytum caput medusae and Ferocactus. I certainly don't want to go down the slippery slope of collecting such things, they're just a 'novelty' as far as I'm concerned, but an interesting novelty nonetheless. How do you go about initiating the development of such a plant? I wonder how it...
