Re: Don't forget the On-Line talk on tuesday
Thanks for organizing today’s talk—it was great! One day, we need to get a philosopher in to get the definitive answer to the question of what a species really is...

Re: January 2025 - something new
but just to check, did you look at the full size (download/file.php?id=90185), and not the downsized display ones (download/file.php?id=90185&t=1)? Note the `&t=1` at the end of the URL. I went by the photos as they are on my laptop. If I look at the full size photo, it is a little better ...

Re: A few photos
Don't you guys resize as a matter of course for various destinations? Standard practice. Certainly this topic should be moved to a separate thread, but I'll pose my question here to not forget about it - what destinations do you have in mind that nowadays still require resizing (downsizing I assume ...

Re: January 2025 - something new
Thanks Mike for doing the hard work of judging, and congratulations to Rod! Mat: I've only ever grown one Monanthes, polyphylla, so it's good to see some other species, a pity that the definition or focus doesn't seen quite right. They weren't the easiest to photograph I admit, I need to make some ...

Linnean Society of London events
There seem to be quite a few interesting events organised by the Linnean Society of London, most in person unfortunately (for me at least), but there were some streamed/online as well in the recent past. The one on May 15th might be of interest to some: " Plant Specimens Aren’t Flat | The Many D ...

Re: January 2025 - something new
Certainly new to me in 2024 was the genus Monanthes . Here we have a "habitat staging" (aka "let's throw some rocks into a pot staging") of what I believe is M. pallens (photo #1, my guess based on the much more pale colour than my other similar species, the M. polyphylla , but please correct me if ...

Re: Is the forum dying?
[...] Why it should be easier to upload straight from the phone to social media than to this Forum I do not know? If that is deterring people posting pictures maybe it now needs looking into? Fully agree on this, storage is really cheap nowadays. On the bright side, social media (sm) are full of ...

Re: Flowering Sansevieria
I thought I'd add a photo or two to this thread, hope that's alright. Flowering (and slightly etiolating thanks to the lovely Scottish sunshine, or rather a lack of it...) now for the second time for me (every other year as it seems) is a Sansevieria (this is a label I won't update yet :grin ...

Re: Burger's death was greatly exaggerated
There's plenty of water and nutrients left in that old leaves pair. It will become a dry sheath at some point and be very easy to remove then, so just wait a bit.
