Re: Sale of John Fawcett's plants.
Many thanks to all who attended the auction, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and most went away with some plants. All of the auction lots were sold, apart fron one which was DOA .
Prices in general didn't seen too high to me although one cactus went for over £300, and a few more sold for £100+, but most were in the £10-£50 bracket. Which I didn't think was excessive considering most plants were 30 to 40 years in cultivation.
Special thanks must go to auctioneer Alan Rollason, who kept us all entertained as well as doing a great job selling the plants.

Uncarina roezlii you have listed I think is not a good name, could it be Uncarina roesliana or Uncarina roeoesliana?

Re: Sale of John Fawcett's plants.
It's possible but as this refers to a plant that was to be auctioned 3 years ago there's not really any way of knowing.
