Can anyone start these threads or is it for mods only?

You can take the boy out of the greenhouse, but you can't take the greenhouse out of the boy!

I finally got round to photographing my only Dudleya, D brittonii.
Side view Top view I do think it is a very beautiful plant but difficult to keep spotlessly white. I don't water it much at the moment but I believe it to be a winter grower, so will give it some in Autumn and Spring.

Re: June 2016 - Genus of the Month - Dudleya
It's July now, should we not have a different Genus of the Month? On the BCSS website the Plant of the Month is a Selenicereus, so I guess we should have something like that here. I know there are some growers of Epiphyllum and similar out there.
