Re: Interesting book due out soon...
I think at the moment £25 is the retail price from anywhere and I will get a (very) small cut from that. I get the opportunity to buy some copies at a small discount that I can sell at talks and a couple of events this year (book signings!) but not too many as I fear getting stuck with a room full o...

Interesting book due out soon...
Just found out my forthcoming book is listed on Amazon as a 'pre-order'. So it is real, after all! :grin: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61d3XQd9UjL._SY466_.jpg https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dry-Exotic-Garden-Xeriscaping-Succulents/dp/0719844169/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DBYD9ESZCAG1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.5UI_...

Re: Euphorbia makeover
I think it looks amazing and the basket weave of the pot matches the trunk pattern almost exactly. Fabulous.

Re: Smaller agaves (and their hardiness)
Thanks for this, Paul. Size wise I'm talking 30-40cm diameter or less. I really like the ones with tight rosettes with the wide leaves over the longer, strappy leaves. There are very few, in that case. Can only suggest you get a larger growing one like one of the parryi group then remove it once it...
