<t>Hello everyone.<br/>
I’m a MSG member. Years ago I was in BCSS South Norfolk Branch, spending many happy years as Show Secretary. We moved (still in Norfolk) a couple of years ago. Prior to that I confess I had lost interest in the spiny ones, and not having a heated greenhouse for the first winter at our new home somewhat reduced my collection!<br/>
Anyway, I’m now into Conophytums. I still have a few old cacti but the plan over the next few years is to fill the greenhouse with dumplings.</t>
Here’s a view of part of the collection, plenty of space left yet!
Peter

Re: Hello!!
Thanks Chris. I expect to learn a lot from some of the experts here in the course of the next few years. I’ve trawled the forum and there’s certainly a lot of beautiful well grown Conos to be seen!

Re: Hello!!
Welcome! I'm new as well and pleased to find another mesemb nut! Looking forward to more wonderful pics of your plants.
First it was orchids, then, since c.2001, cacti and succulents. I'm into South African plants, mainly conos, lithops and haworthias, with a few cacti, especially 'posh' mamms, turbs and other smalls. Now it’s stapeliads as well...
