Thanks, Derek, but the link as printed works fine for me in my browser.
Not all browsers convert the %20 into a space or vice versa.

You are not the only one still waiting in anticipation... We seem to get to this point every year...

Really enjoyed Dec edition, many thanks to all involved. Loved article on Sulcos, but would have liked some cultivation tips to achieve such flowers such as feeding and Winter temps. Cheers

If you haven't received the Journal yet, I just spotted this posted on Facebook. Includes a downloadable and usable seed order form. Apologies if this info has been posted elsewhere on the forum already.

Thank you for the link - I had been looking for an electronic version of the list and couldn't find it...

As it happens, my copy of CW arrived yesterday afternoon. I liked this edition very much, and the article on Sulcos also caught my eye - not only because it concerns a cactus genus I share a passion for, but also because I thought it nicely illustrates the benefits of being part of the BCSS, and how the connections made via the society can feeds one's interest in these plants.

Eric, there is a splendid website on Sulcorebutia available, with a good deal of information on their cultivation and propagation: https://english.sulcopassion.be/ The site also describes the collections of some expert growers and, for some, the growing techniques they use.

Also seriously tempted now to visit La Gomera next summer...

Sorry to put a damp squib on this but I thought the succulent seed list very disappointing.

2 Agaves, 1 Aloe, 1 Euphorbia, no Haworthias, no Stapeliads.

I appreciate that if the seeds are unavailable then there is not much that can be done but it doesn't make it any less disappointing when the cactus seed list is so extensive.

Lovely pictures on the front and back,
Well done Chris L

Received my copy last friday,well worth the wait

Thanks Christian for great link. Cheers
