We have a collection of our own :)

Finally after months of only having young cactus and succulents we finally have some mature plants. I can't tell you how excited I am. Now granted they are not all in great condition and not really anything exciting but they are mine. :). Now to work on getting that greenhouse up and running.

Looks like a good start to me Jo, looks like you have another recumberant Mamillaria. I have great admiration for people who have interests and hobies akin to their work. For some unknown reason I need to keep work and pleasure apart, it probably took me ten years to get back into photography as a hoby when I left the business.
Regards Keith.

That certainly is a good start. You know the law of greenhouses? You always build it double as large as you think you need, and then you run out of space!

Hi Tina, Is it this one you mean? It is an astrophytum but I'm not sure of the species without doing a bit of research. Sadly not many of the plants have names on them so I will need to do some ID work.
