well done Paul
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Thanks all. They were here from 8am to about 4pm, and a lot of filming done. As well as what was shown I spoke about feeding, source of plants, field collection numbers, cat litter, Plant Heritage, conservation & habitat loss, and various other pests apart from the ones mentioned in the clip but with only a 6 min slot a lot had to be cut out. On the whole I think they did a good edit. I have to say the team were really friendly and it was fun.

I watched it on catch up. It was excellent and I'm really jealous, of both the plants and the greenhouse. Obviously a lot of hard work put in.
