Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

WOW!! absolutely magnificent plants! Beautiful pics from Gillian, for which, many thanks! Just loved the Lithops aucampiae - it's pristine, the grower of that must be very proud. So many gorgeous plants (note to self: must do better.)

What an excellent set of photos of a stunning display of c&s. Only National Shows are better?

I can help name 2 of the 3 unamed photos on the middle page. The Ceropegia on the small climbing frame is C. africana ssp. africana that lives on my windowsill for anyone walking past to admire.

BTW, I noticed Gillian has a great method to make sure she does not leave any plants behind at the end of the show. She digitally photographs each carrying-tray and puts the plants back in the same places by viewing the camera back at packing up time.

Best wishes,
