Re: Look what these caught.2023 trawl.
Can someone please explain the point of catching and killing harmless insects? Mealy bugs maybe so, but all others - no. We should be helping them thrive, not killing them. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2022/may/uks-flying-insects-have-declined-60-in-20-years.html Millions of citizens walk ab...

Re: Aloe safari sunrise
Thanks. I think the plant benefited from me removing all the offsets and there was loads. I potted some up and gave them away at branch meeting. The remainder got binned, no room. The one you see and the other don't have any offsets, any that appears will be removed.

Re: February 2024: Adromischus
Adromischus halesowensis ??. I rescued this at the back end of 2022 from Roy Mottrams greenhouse. Not in the best condition but is improving. Sadly I could not read all the field data on what was left of the label. Its in a 7inch clay half pot. I don't have any more Adromischus.
