Joined Havering branch 2006, although have been growing on and off since the age of ten!
Have a large balanced collection of both cacti and succulents but enjoy growing cristate, monstrose and generally anything a bit weird!

My Stenocactus multicostatus has just produced my first flowers of 2018. Still in its cold frame, enjoying its winter rest.

Bought my first cactus in 1957 - Now retired and growing Mexican desert cacti in the sun.

Hello all,

Lithops optica 'Rubra' is also one of the first flowerers of the year. Always difficult to get fully opened flowers, even with the MSG bulletin recommendations... :???:
