Cheers Vic. I took pics of the outdoor beds & clocked the Agaves but didn't post yet - may add later.
I did enjoy Brum. Haven't been there for well over 20 years. I used to know it quite well as I was at Warwick Uni. for 3 years at the end of the 70's. Have to say that I can't remember exactly how it looked then but I guess it's changed a lot? The Bull Ring most certainly has.

Copiapoas, Ferocacti, Neoporterias, Tephrocacti & John Coltrane (not a cactus) all hit the spot

Echeveria colorata
Hi Vic,
Thanks for the Birmingham pics.
BTW, the correct name for Echeveria lindsayana is now E. colorata. Just trying to keep you guys up to speed.

Re: Some more pics from the Birmingham Autumn Show
Yes the Botanical gardens are lovely & well worth a visit.
We had coffee in the morning with a peacock sitting outside the window before it wobbled off to the family that had 4 little babies.
Must be more organised & take photo's once the prize cards are there as it's a lot better to see what plants Won.
Yes Colin my Pachypodium & my Lophs got 1st & 2nd so I think I'll enter again next yr.
Must treat my Euphorbia's with some growth hormones or steroids to plump them up !!!

Re: Some more pics from the Birmingham Autumn Show
Sorry to have missed you Ant, didn't realise you were going.
I got asked if I was in my late 20s so I suppose it all evens out...

Re: Some more pics from the Birmingham Autumn Show
Hi Stuart,
It was a late thursday decision to go to the show and even then i only dropped the plants off. Her indoors wanted to go out so i didnt return till late afternoon. I'm gonna try and make this months branch meeting so we can catch up then.
It was probably the same person who thought i was Vic's brother (who also thought i was 24!!! I wish )

Maria, yes, there were some superb Gymnos - I didn't snap any of them though I'm afraid.
