P. afra concerns
Hi, I have a thriving Portulacaria afra, but it has developed a number of length-way splits in the bark. Any thoughts on whether this is normal, or a sign of something worrying? Thanks a lot.

Re: Shopping in Spanish garden centre #3
Thanks for feedback, all is very helpful! I'm always uneasy about buying un-labelled plants from non-specialist outlets - but in the face of long rows of exotic plants costing nearly nothing, how could I not?! I'm sorry to say that the cacti were even more plentiful & cheap, but that is not my i...

Finally, at fear of testing my wife's patience and bursting my suitcase, another €12 purchase.
Ponytail palm /
Beaucarnea recurvata? Or so my type of Yukka? New area to me, but worth a risk.

This was €12, looks like a possible Adenium to my untrained eye. Staff said something like Adeplphi, but this returns no results on the Interweb.

Re: Sedumbook
Snap! Somehow I have two of these books.
I heard there was a second edition in colour, but I must have got that wrong, because I can't find it.

Holiday in Spain
Hi, I don't usually do social media re. holidays - but I've just arrived at a villa in Spain, and the garden has some very attractive mature succulents. Close to Almeria - perfect climate! Maybe an opportunity for a couple of cheeky cuttings...!

The peach flowers have been going on for months, otherwise I would have discarded them. Now they are multiplying in my GH and on my daughters' window s...
