thanks guys.

Rod, it's reassuring to know it's still possible to be amazed after all that time

These are wonderful Wiebe, I haven't seen this genus before. Hope I can find some.

Thanks Jeff, we recently bought a P. saundersii so it would be interesting to see the answer to Rene's question about care etc (assuming conditions for the 2 species are similar?)

Thanks for uploading the photos Matt and thanks also to all the other members who's efforts made it a really impressive show. The standard of all the exhibits was very high so it was a slight relief that I didn't enter anything in this my first year because I'm sure I would have shown myself up. As ...

Looks great Jeff, how old is it?

Wonderful plants and flowers. Well done.

Fantastic flowers Vincent, I hope I can find one somewhere. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the tip, 1 briquette ordered

My c&s collection is very new so every flower is something amazing for me, my recently purchased Sulcorebutia rauschii's flowers opened at the weekend. Although very nice, the pictures came out too pink compared to the real colour which was a deep crimson. Nevertheless, here it is... Sulcorebuti...

Thank Carl,
Have you found a supplier for chopped coconut husk? I've been using coir blocks from Fertile Fibre but when I was looking for chopped husks (to repot a Nepenthes) I couldn't find it in the UK, only in Europe and shipping was a bit pricey.
