Southfields today

Post by edds »

Popped into Southfields today for their retirement sale. Have to say I was fearing it would feel a bit run down but not at all.

In the main set there was as much choice as ever (if not more as they are clearing out their stock). Also lots of their seed grown Echinopsis, Chamaelobivia and Rebutia ready to flower in a few weeks to choose from.

Get along while you can and grab a bargain with 25% off as well.

Slightly jealous!
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.

Even better, wait a month when more hybrids will be in flower and combine it with a trip to Spalding Cactus Mart on 20th April.

I’m off to Southfields on Wednesday to see what I can find. I’ll also be at Spalding mart as well assuming the stars align.
Growing in Nottingham for the past 4 years and recently found my way to a Nottingham branch meeting. A few plants on a windowsill has very quickly turned into a greenhouse full!

Attempting to grow a range of turbinicarpus, coryphantha, escobaria and several other cactus genera. Tylecodons, pelargoniums and conophytums keep me occupied in the winter and an ever expanding number of gasteria live under the bench.

A very good idea but there were a small range in flower yesterday! (Neoporteria and Stenocactus) And the odd Rebutia and Cleistocatus with some more showing buds.
