Auction at Birmingham 17 May

[Christian]

I would just like to mention an auction held at Winterbourne later this year - on Sunday, 17 May. I am waiting for more details to come through and will update this thread as I receive the information.

It's a very interesting collection, mainly cacti (not sure if there are any succulents to be auctioned, actually) and these are of show quality, so I am told. I've seen pictures of some of the plants and they look fabulous. So make sure you keep that date free if you can.

I now managed to put some further information on our website - see: http://birmingham.bcss.org.uk/?p=2038

As you will see, there are some pictures of the plants to be auctioned available too, plus a photo of the man who looked after all these lovely plants, Fred Hassam.

I'll keep this thread updated if I receive any further information.

Thanks.

The plants are now at Winterbourne where the auction will be held, and one of our branch members took some photos which are now available in Gill's photostream at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/130360858@N05/.
