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!

Love those Tephros ! And great ELK photo's, but what's with all this grafting of the Digi's - are they that hard to keep alive ? I thought they were pretty easy like most of the Astro's....Or is everyone just in a rush to get flowers or create seed ??

Probably shouldn't talk too soon, but my Digi seedlings are doing pretty well on their own roots and I think they look a lot neater than having a Fero for legs !(:D

I think it's just about getting a quick return while prices are high and meeting demand Trevor, personaly I am not a huge fan of grafting, but it will be interesting to do some grafts and plant the seeds and do a comparison on growth rates, survival etc.
