When those seed packets were filled, sealed, and written - the worker knew the contents and cared about them.
Not many people do that today - perhaps technology widens the distance between worker and his work
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
