BCSS - Forum

Congratulation and thanks to all responsible for getting the March Cactus World out in timely fashion, and with an interesting range of contents.

But it should carry a health warning. Do not open if you are prone to attacks of jealousy. The pages on David Quail's greenhouse and garden will leave you gasping for breath.

He's certainly got an awesome collection of plants!

Yes, a huge spread with loads of photos and descriptions. It all looks very impressive - must be a full time job keeping it in order.

And a lot more pictures and information on the website somewhere it says on some articles

It's my first ever copy of Cactus World and I must say I'm very impressed with it, I'm looking forward to finding a few hours to read it properly. I'm too scared to look at the pictures of plants though in case it creates an outbreak of emptiusbankaccountii

I'm glad to report my issue arrived yesterday.

A most enjoyable issue and I was also left completely amazed by David's beautiful collection, although I'm not sure I could look after quite so many plants, so not envious! I also enjoyed John Pilbeam's lovely tribute to Derek, plus the photo of them together in earlier years. Peter Berresford's item about BCSS speakers is also interesting; we are certainly very fortunate to have such a pool of good dedicated speakers ready to travel around without charging a fee. Well done to the Journal Team.

Sadly no sign of mine yet.

No sign of CW here either.
But the associate's mailing arrived yesterday.
Out of interest anyone know if they start off from the same point?

No, Associates mail is sent out by Peter Bint from Manchester. He gets a supply of all the inserts direct from the printers. The journals are sent via a mailing house who have to collate, pack and mail them. Peter does a very good job "behind the scenes" keeping associates up to date.
