Yes I have now sent Mike both a PM and an e mail. If anyone knows him, and he is not on holiday, please give him a nudge.

Seeing as everyone else has gone for flowers, how about some seeds?

Thanks for posting some lovely pictures of Astrophytum species. All wonderful pictures. Loved the vivid flowers in Rodsmith’s collection. And an unusual take with DianeM’s seed pods! But I have decided to give winning slot to el48tel. At this time of year it’s so nice to see the promise of Poland’s starting to bud - and this picture made me think of spring and promises of things to come. Well done - and over to you for March topic selection!
