I'm new

[D^L]

Hello,
My name is David Lambie and I’m new to the forum. I’m based in Bristol and grow a range of succulent plants, including cacti, in my greenhouse. I have a particular interest in Mesembs and Epiphytes and have a few Haworthias, but also a significant range of other bits and bobs!
Historically I have been involved in the society over a number of years, I’ve been growing since the mid ‘70s and I’ve briefly been a branch secretary and an occasional speaker. Fatherhood over the last few years has limited my time but now I’m getting a few moments to get back into the greenhouse!
Indeed my major job this spring is to repot and somehow get rid of the resulting overflow! I sow more seeds than I could ever think of finding space for the seedlings and, evidently, I never learn :-)
Anyway, I spend too much time on a computer at work to spend that much time online in the evening but I hope to read a bit of the forum and chip in as appropriate!

Cheers
David

Nice to have you here

Howdy & welcome (back) David. I'm sure we could think of some way to help you with that overflow. And I don't mean repotting part

Hi David,
Good to see you here.
A great grower and speaker as well; I am sure others would love to see some of your great plants, as a taster this was one I got from David a couple of years ago.

Hi David, to the forum! I know the problem with too many seedlings... there is a sales and wants section on the forum, you can always offer the overflow here!

[sue46]

Phil, that is a stunning plant What is it please?

[D^L]

Thanks for the info about sales and wants, Diane, I think I will try that when I have a few minutes!

And thanks to Phil for his encouragement, but I think we ought to note that at least 95% of that Copiapoa laui (unless my eyes deceive me) is due to Phil's cultivtion skills!

Cheers
David

Hello David, welcome on here! (thinks... I wonder why we have a "welcome back" smiley but not a "welcome" one?) I remember you as the Sceletium man

[Diane]

We do, Lindsey! See "view more smilies" and there are a couple more pages in a pop-up.
