Two nice cacti from Graham Charles. Great to have all the collection details clearly typed and displayed on the label, plus first hand information of where the seed was collected.

Some BEF pots hidden behind the plants as well.

Two healthy gasteria from John Henshaw plus another I could not leave because it’s a gasteria.

The last batch included the elusive Adromischus, a senecio & something else like it.

Nice plants, Brian.
I think the pachyphytum is Pachyphytum compactum not Pachyphytum viride.
Google the names for images.

Look after the choice Adro!

Agreed. P. viride has much bigger leaves.

I agree Pachyphytum compactum. If in doubt check out the International Crassulaceae Network. It is the best source of identification of Crassulaceae that I know. It can be slow to navigate but makes up for it by more information http://www.crassulaceae.ch/.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

I think I bought all the Adromischus. Sorry about that. The Seyrigia looks nice and weird. Does it have a caudex?

Does anyone know who the stall on the front row on the left was? I bought quite a few interesting plants from them.

I didn't buy anything from Ian Robinson at the cactus mart but then he gave the talk at Bradford tonight so I bought a few then.

This is the plant from the mart that's still baffling me.

Describe where it was and I'll see if I can work it out for you.

Was it near the canteen or near Ian Robinson? Cacti or Succulents?

Brian,
I managed to find a plant of each amongst my sales plants and propagations respectively, so that I could take a picture of them side by side.

Pachphytum viride on the left, Pachyphytum compactum on the right:

Thank you. Yes, it will have been near the canteen. As you walked into the hall, it was on the front row on the left. They sold mainly succulents. They had a small tray of Adromischus marianae as shown in Brian's photo, but a lot of their plants seemed to be one-offs. All sorts of stuff.

Not many stalls have signs or their name on their labels, etc, so I often find myself buying lovely plants and having no idea who I bought them from.
