This was a fantastic day - great speakers, great plants for sale, and great to catch up with some familiar faces.
Well done to Simon and everyone else responsible for organising the event.
Roll on 2025!

Re: Nurseries and gardens between Edinburgh and Leicester
Give Williams Cactus a call or text and it wouldn't surprise me if they'll open for you. A lovely collection, but I wasn't that impressed with the sales plants if I'm honest. This.

Re: I don’t like it! Solved
I love it! Reminds me of this e. micromeris belonging to Graham Charles. This one also had a 'normal' head behind the cristate part.

Re: Recruiting new BCSS members from Reddit
Sorry to revive a years-old thread but I've been thinking a lot about how to utilise various online platforms to raise the profile of the society. Whilst having a society-specific subreddit is great for members, what is really powerful is having members showcasing their plants in wider, larger ...
