Congratulation and thanks to all responsible for getting the March Cactus World out in timely fashion, and with an interesting range of contents.
But it should carry a health warning. Do not open if you are prone to attacks of jealousy. The pages on David Quail's greenhouse and garden will leave you gasping for breath.

Re: Cactus World
Yes, a huge spread with loads of photos and descriptions. It all looks very impressive - must be a full time job keeping it in order.

Re: Cactus World
It's my first ever copy of Cactus World and I must say I'm very impressed with it, I'm looking forward to finding a few hours to read it properly. I'm too scared to look at the pictures of plants though in case it creates an outbreak of emptiusbankaccountii

Re: Cactus World
A most enjoyable issue and I was also left completely amazed by David's beautiful collection, although I'm not sure I could look after quite so many plants, so not envious! I also enjoyed John Pilbeam's lovely tribute to Derek, plus the photo of them together in earlier years. Peter Berresford's item about BCSS speakers is also interesting; we are certainly very fortunate to have such a pool of good dedicated speakers ready to travel around without charging a fee. Well done to the Journal Team.

Re: Cactus World
No sign of CW here either.
But the associate's mailing arrived yesterday.
Out of interest anyone know if they start off from the same point?

Re: Cactus World
No, Associates mail is sent out by Peter Bint from Manchester. He gets a supply of all the inserts direct from the printers. The journals are sent via a mailing house who have to collate, pack and mail them. Peter does a very good job "behind the scenes" keeping associates up to date.
