BCSS - Forum

Hello everyone

I'm Andrew and I have just joined the BCSS after lurking on the forum for a couple of weeks. I ahve a modest collection acquired from local garden centres and super markets, so of course no names. Here are a few pictures:
I expect my collection will grow in the next few months and I am looking forward to sowing the seeds that came with my membership pack. And hopefully learning to identify my plants

Hi Andrew
From one newbie to another.
I think #6 is Opuntia monacantha f. Monstruosa

Welcome to the forum you are not far from hull that has some good growers and a good branch if you can get to the meetings
You don't have to be a member to go to a meeting and see what you think

Thanks Chris, I selected York as my branch but Hull is about the same distance away and Leeds is not too fara away as well.

I think you'll find both York branch and Leeds branch most welcoming. They have both welcomed me. I live within easy reach of both and attend both but I am on the postal list of Leeds. Leeds has put together a most interesting list of meetings for next year and York is finalising its schedule. Leeds won't meet again until next year but York does have a meeting in November. It is worth contacting both branch secretaries for the prospectuses. Peter Smith in Leeds and John Galvin in York. The zone 3 page gives you access to the contact details.
I think you will find you will learn a lot from the knowledgeable folk at either ..... and I have found that they are most generous in their help.
