7&8 I think are Hollygate, the only cactus nursery I have visited so far.

BCSS Member since 2005. My collection has been somewhat neglected since starting a PhD but I am particularly keen on Crassulaceae, succulent Pelargoniums and South African bulbs.

Re: greenhouse/nursery quiz
First pair not sure of maybe Whitestone or Matlock
Second pair I've had a wee behind that brown door so it's either John Henshaws or somebody found a nasty suprise.
Third pair I think might be Derek Bowdery's I think I got an Agave from amongst that lot
Fourth pair I don't think I've ever been in.
Fifth pair looks like a load of rubbish half of them need throwing.

Re: greenhouse/nursery quiz
pics 3 and 4 I'm also sure are Croston Cactus (John & Norma Henshaw). I recognise the big Aloe in the middle. I was so taken by it I bought its little sister/brother when I was there for the "spring sale" weekend last year. Of course that pic isn't of the sales house (though you can just about see it through the far end of the greenhouse in pic 4!

PS - I enjoy these quizzes..... one day I'll get my camera out and try to put something together myself.
