Must admit I'm still not sure if I dis/like the variegted plants, although they are all such good specimens can't see anyone turning them away from the greenhouses :)

Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

More FANTASTIC photo's,Thanks Stephania.

Is it only me that sometimes thinks I'm torturing my plants by trying to get them to grow in the Uk under my growing conditions :?

Wow, so many people... the place looks huge, and what a great atmosphere.

I agree about williamsii... a much bigger kick is got from looking at it. :)

Those variegated Haworthia are beautiful!

I have an idea for next year's forum outing..... :D
