Dirk, BELGIUM,

Welcome Stephania,
I know you will bring a lot of knowledge to this group, especially growing *monster* sized caudiciforms as you do.

Best regards

Hello Stephania

Welocme to the forum, I'm sure we are going to be very jealous of your 'growing conditions' compared to our greenhouse & extra heating.

Great book isn't it, when I go to show's & cactus marts it normally goes with me & is my favourite bed time reading.

Hi Stephania,

Welcome to the forum, great plant and t shirt.

Hi Stephania,

Welcome and hope you enjoy the forum.

Chief Moderator (Mod) Tina will be very jealous of your huge Stephania - she's really into these caudiciforms.

I've rarely seen Stephania in the UK - does anyone on this Forum grow it?

Hi Stephania,

Welcome to the forum! What fantastic plants! Do you know how old Mr Giant is?

(What is this book? I'm intrigued now, but can't see the title...)

A guide to growing Pachycaul & caudiciform plants By Philip de vosjloi, of course it helps that he lives in California & not dreary grey Uk (it's raining in MK today :~((.

If you have ever kept reptiles you would recognise his names from the books he wrote concerning Reptile husbandry

Thanks Tina!

I have the same book Tina, indeed a good read.
