As far as I'm aware, no southern nurseries or sellers have been invited to this event. I have spoken to a number of sellers who were at the last National Show, and those who attended the last National event which was at Lullingstone Castle in 2019, and most tell me that they have not been informed a...

I have a general interest in all members of the Gesneriaceae, commonly referred to as Gesneriads. There are many Sinningias that have never been considered to be remotely succulent, such as the popular houseplant Gloxinia, and although I would encourage everyone to grow more members of this plant Fa...

Yes it will indeed be interesting to learn who has been invited to offer plants for sale at this event..... As far as I can tell, most southern based growers and nurseries, even those who attended the last National Show, or the last CactusWorld event have not been invited to attend, so it is unlikel...

Wow Diane
I didn't even know that there was a white flowered variation of this popular plant! It looks fab!

Turbinicarpus mandragora is quite a different beast....... rarely seen in cultivation, very difficult to grow successfully, with a large swollen napiform or tuberous root system. It occurs in habitat in one deep valley or canyon in the Mexican...

Some of my plants have still not been watered since late October last year. No wonder we have a distinct difference in flowering times. The minimum temperature in one of my unheated greenhouses here in Southampton last night was minus 2, and the watering of many of my unheated plants is later than I...

Fab flowers, but these are not strictly Hildewinteras, they are Hildewintera hybrids, which is a whole new kettle of fish ..... to quote an old and attractive saying. There are numerous hybrids now, both simple and complex, ie hybrids of intergeneric hybrids, crossed with other similar hybrids, all ...
