Another good show, with a lot of very good entries. Plenty of plants for sale, I got some wonderful bargains and a very social occasion. John Watmough did his talk in his unique and amusing fashion and I think genuinely enjoyed his day.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.
