Hi everyone.
Firstly thanks to Bill and Peter for sorting the account issues out.
Ok, so introductions....I'm in the north west of England in a little market town called Chorley. Luckily only a stones throw away from John Henshaw at Croston Cactus whom I had the pleasure of meeting a couple of weeks back. My collection is mainly cactus and agave with one or two other succulents thrown in for good measure! Its a relatively new collection but does seem to be growing at quite a rate - recent additions coming from Tatton and Chorley Flowers shows ..oh yeah...and I gained a few on my visit with John too
Here is a little look for you all.
and a couple in bloom....
Thanks all
Greetings!

Re: Greetings!
welcome to the forum Cav. Your collection appears to be very neat and tidy, but for how long?

Re: Greetings!
Very nice, but jeez, did u wipe down all the sides ready for those photos? You run a tight ship everything is pristine! There is more soil on my kitchen worktop than there is there!
I too like a nice grusonii, how big is yours? Mine isn't that big but I have 3 at different sizes and ages.
Just one more can't hurt? According to my partner I have nearly 200 cacti in my one bed flat - I disagree cuz babies, seedlings and cuttings don't count do they?!!?
It's a full blown disease didnt you know?
