Very unusual first one. Love it.
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!

It would appear that only one person spotted my mistake. There is no such thing as a Lithop they are all Lithops- another senior moment, they seem to come more often nowadays :lol:

I see so many spelling and grammatical mistakes that I don't usually bother to point them out. My pet hate, which is very common, is using cacti in the singular. :evil:

Lovely lithops, Allan!

... incorrect use of the apostrophe. People using it's when it should be its!
If it is not replacing "it is" (= it's) then it should be its.
