Bristol show

Post by Eric Williams »

On behalf of my brother and his family, who visited the show on Sat.I would like to thank the branch for organising a great day out at Filton. The quality of the plants was outstanding (his words).plants on sale were numerous, and sellers provided all information that was required of them. Last but not least was the catering provided on the day, exellent were the words used. I will be joining them next year for sure. A great advert for our hobby. Thank you.

It's a Senecio (Kleinia), probably either saginatus or stapeliiformis.
