BCSS - Forum

I enjoyed very much following your trip, you've seen some lovely plants and places there, encouraging me to visit there oneday, thanks.

Really interesting Paul - thanks. Great to see D. serratifolia in the wild. Nasty leaves!!!! And I never knew the Mammillarias grew on the forest floor - you learn something new everyday, as they say.

hi Paul,went to the bristol meet last night,a guy doing a talk of his tour during 2006.was made all the more interesting as some of the places were ones you had mentioned here, do you ever wish you could bring a container load back with you??

Shhh - don't want accusations of habitat stripping on here too...

oops ok
was good though.ive been reading both your travelogues again.certainly somewhere id consider going to if ever i got the chance

As I said before Wow a stunning trip. Paul did you see many Echeverias and did you test any Tequila

Darren - it is worth making the effort.

Roger - echeverias - other than those pictured I only noticed E. nodulosa in a couple of spots but both times the pics didn't come out very well. I did intend to look for some more in the mountains west of Tlaxiaco but we ended up going on a different route and bypassing that spot. Interesting to see the epiphytic species, though. And tequila? Well, it would have been rude not to. You get a better class of tequila out there - aged over oak etc and not the firewater you generally see in this country. If you like it, one to look for is Don Julio Reposada. Hmmm....

Hi Paul & W O W

I don't tend to check out many of the other extra's of the forum but I'm glad I did this is wonderful, those Cyathea princeps are amazing once you realise how large they are.
The agaves are amazing & make mine look like midgets, you certainly crammed a lot in to the trip, bet you needed a rest when you got home .
Really glad you posted this & I'll point Colin to it as he will appreciate the flora.
