Re: EU Plant Passport Scheme
Wow, quite a few quite strong statements above. Replying to everyone at once: I am asking for a guidance on "what members (can) do between themselves on a personal, rather than public, level", and while it is indeed "their own affair and does not concern the Society", a Society, as a larger unit ...

Re: EU Plant Passport Scheme
This is a highly inflamatory subject which has already been discussed extensively on various platforms including the Forum and clear statements have been issued on behalf of the Board of Trustees, several months ago.

Re: Does anyone know what might have happened to this gasteria?
Hi, my gasteria nigrans has recently developed these brown/Black blotches on the leaves, they are floppy but only on the blotches, the effected leaves have remained the same save for the blotches. There arent any visible signs of pests and it's unlikely to be scorch as it has been kept under the ...

Re: Scottish Rebutias
Well, three years on, and I'm sorry to say the 20 or so different Rebutia and Aylostera I had outside have all died. I'm afraid the winters are just too rough for them here on the Buchan plain. Allan in Orkney and Ross in the west manage it alright, but we must be just over the edge in terms of ...

Re: Field collection number query
I think TCG stands for Turbinicarpus Group (Gruppe) rather than a specific collector.

Purge of unused accounts
I am cleaning up the Forum accounts in order to reduce the vast size the database has become, with a view to looking at moving to a better system. We have a huge number of accounts which have been signed up for in the last 15 years or so and not used, and I've written to all of these by email for ...

Re: Cactus World
I am gradually making my way through removing lapsed members from the group. We are working on a solution to make it automatic. Assuming you are renewing- I'll leave you in ;) Catching up with the missed journals shouldn't be a problem as I believe there are still good stocks in the shop. Thankyou ...
