".....I love the sort of bonsai looking trees with the tall type conos on the ends of the branches. Never seen anything like those before!"

Well spotted Julie, these are Mitrophyllum, they used to be known as Conophyllum!

Well we had an exceptionally talented judge who knew quality when he saw it;)

So I am pretty pleased with my results.
I got 1st place in class 4 for my Astridia dinteri
1st and 3rd place in class 5 for my Hereroa herrei and Bergeranthus sp?
I also took 1st place for class 8 and 4 conophytum in PNO 2.75" seen here:-
back left C.marginatum littlewoodii, back right C. tantillum ssp. helenae, front left C.luckhoffii and front right c.regale.

Well done Brian.

Julie tells fibs about the Mitrophyllum, if you remember there were some in the pics of the plants I got from Tom (:D

I also got a 2nd place in class 14 with my Orthopterum waltoniae,
2nd place in class 18 with Lampranthus zeyheri, 3rd place in class 11 for Delosperma eburneum and 2nd place in class 33 for 6 plants different genera in pots not over 3.5", seen here:
back left Mitrophyllum tenuifolium, b.r. Cheiridopsis denticulata,
middle left Conophytum fibuliforme (bolusiae?), M.R. Pleiospilos nelii,
front left Titanopsis calcarea and front right Lithops viridis.
[attachment 7326 6genera.jpg]

Julie, you asked how old the pleiospilos is...
I got this plant in 1983 it divided into 2 heads in 1985 and remained as a two headed plant on long , divergent stems until 18 months ago when I chopped it and rerooted both heads.
