Interesting to see the contrast in flowering times. Down here in Surrey most of my cono flowers are now long finished

Maybe you get a shorter season too Terry? I know mine start 2-3 weeks later than yours but some, Minuscula mainly but others too, carry on well into November.

Great photos. I enjoyed the show; this was the first time I'd been. Good plant sale too!

I've done a silent video of the first 13 classes. If it proves popular I will probably do the other videos and put some music on them. It is a HD video, so worth looking at a larger screen size than the thumbnail. (tu) :grin:

Thanks. The videos help make up for not being able to go in person.

Fantastic show! Shame it's a bit far from Cardiff...
Mainly cacti, with a preference for Mexican ones, but I'm flexible!
