Hi All
New member living in Madrid here. I’ve always been a keen gardener and always been keen on succulents, but the recent move to sunny Spain has forced me to specialize in succulent things!
The collection is currently fairly small (less than 40 plants) and mostly fairly run of the mill things; I was fairly limited with what I could bring with me when I moved out here and I find there’s not much selection in the garden centers / nurseries around here either (which is mind boggling, considering the climate).
Looking forward to picking up some hints and tips from the society as it’s been a steep learning curve getting to grips with gardening in this climate (I thought I was green fingered till I came here)
And hopefully I’ll make it to some society meeting one week when I’m back in the U.K.!
Thanks

Welcome to the forum John
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
