Looking at Wayback Machine (web.archive.org), it appears to have been taken down some time between May and November 2014.

Re: What happened to Gérard Delanoy's national melocactus collection?
was this the collection that went to Kew?
Featured in the special conservation issue of the journal maybe, or possibly some other issue?
Hopefully someone with a better memory will be along shortly....

Good memory, Rob. The "Kew" melocactus collection was featured in the Conservation issue (2007, Vol. 25 supplement) but this was the Klaus Hättich collection.
I visited this amazing set of plants a couple of times in the Noughties:

This one fascinated me as a 'propagator'. Did this originate from a seed that germinated in the cephalium?
