[David_L]

Quite a nice tray of Mesembs.

Plant from the collection I would most liked to have taken home with me on the Day? This would take some beating. Mammillaria guelzowiana.

Now we're talking business David - those Feros are fantastic!! Brilliant photos which really emphasise the variation in spine colour etc.. I must get over to Derek's and would possibly visit Richard & Wendy Edington who are only around 40 miles from Eau Brink.

The one unnamed would be latispinus.

Would you mind if I saved some of your photos?

[Vic]

Looking again latispinus shouldn't have those whisker like radials, the central spines do look very latipsinus-like and although normally globose can grow to around 30cm tall eventually. Perhaps this is more so gracilis ssp. coloratus.

with the dreaded Oxalis I see.

[David_L]

Yes Bob in glasshouses that size fighting Oxalis must be like painting the Forth bridge! Certainly you can save the pictures Vic, but don't forget they are Derek's plants.

[Vic]

Thanks David! They'll be solely for personal use.

Looks more like the gracilis, not latispinus.

That M. guelzowiana is stunning.

[Julie]

Look at all those Mesembs!! And that fenestraria has the most leaves I've seen.
