He has been engaged in study and cultivation of cacti and other succulent plants for over 30 years. He has visited South America (4 times), Mexico (11 times) and Cuba (once) to study plants. He lived in the USA for 7 years and visits deserts of the SW of USA regularly since his return back to Prague. His articles have been published articles in a number of international journals, including Cactus and Succulent Journal (USA), CactusWorld (UK), Cactaceae etc. (Slovakia), The Cactus Explorer (UK) and Kaktusy (CZ). He is a member of The Cactus and Succulent Society of America (life member), British Cactus and Succulent Society, Bromeliad Society International (life member), and Society of the Czech and Slovak Growers of Cacti and Succulents.

Re: Mammillaria Society Annual Meeting Sunday 23rd April
Its even closer now, and the weather looks to be fine all day at Wisley, sunny intervals during the morning, clouding over ain the afternoon.
So enjoy the gardens and then come and see us, and stay for the talks. I'm sure there will be something of interest for you, even if its just the sales tables.
