Re: scottish cacti ?
I can't bring to mind a nursery in Scotland but I will plead the case of mail order suppliers.

Re: Flowers or new pads?
It's a fascinating guessing game. My big Maihueniopsis subterranea has some promising signs - I'll get a photo tomorrow. It hasn't flowered before (for me anyway, it came from John Marsden's collection dispersal) but it's certainly big enough and the buds are higher up on the stems than I'd expect f...

Re: Cactus auction Ident please
Gymnocalycium ragonesei, probably Pachycereus pringleyi, don't know the Aloe, then Echinopsis ancistrophora 'subdenudata' would be my guesses.

Re: Read any good books??
"Succulents. The Illustrated Dictionary" by Maurizio Sajeva and Mariangela Costanzo 1995) is a nice general book. It sometimes crops up in cheap bookshops too, though less so nowadays. There's about 1200 photos, 6 to a page, with a fairly brief description. There is a 'vol 2' published mor...
