Re: A sad story

Hi Bill Lovely mini story, have to agree with Rob, I'm not a great worrier re- plants labeling. It's certainly a nice looking plant. One other point would be to put succulent in the subject heading so people know what we are talking about, I know I have lapsed again but it's useful (not a dig at you...
