Hi
Any images hosted on the bcss site will be low resolution and make a poor presentation.
I was unsure about this as it sounds Ok- ish but if you aren't growing the actual plants you can't give out any information, cultivations tips, when/how it likes to grow etc. If you visited collections and collected this yourself it would be better you could also use a background so all images were more uniform for the presentation.
Something a bit different?

Cactus Kid.. I'm kinda envious on didieria.. tried to grow it a few times but failed. And I'm still trying to figure out how can that little green part feed such a big yellow area on cereus

Re: Something a bit different?
Tina, you make some good points but I was planning to get the images via the cloud or Dropbox so that the quality wouldn’t be an issue. As for the cultivation tips, I did state I was also interested in tips from the grower, any additional info could be gained via messenger.
Visiting the collections would be great, but impossible when working six days a week.
AnTTun. The Didieria has no special treatment and is grown the same as most of my other succulents. It is in a `hot box’ kept at 10 degrees during the winter, I’ve had it about six years now. I’ve been lucky and had no problems with it.
The Cereus has a bit more green on the opposite side and grows well!

Have a large balanced collection of both cacti and succulents but enjoy growing cristate, monstrose and generally anything a bit weird!
