Re: Offensive "Moderator" on Facebook.

You are seeking something good in what is probably the most toxic digital environment. Steer away from Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and things like that and you can still have a perfectly fun life without the need to discuss how rude someone has been. Just accept that there are (a lot of) annoying p...

Re: old BCSS seed distribution collection numbers

I'd also love to see such list. CH 1887 isn't listed on Ralph's field number site; it's the collection number for Titanopsis schwantesii in the 2019 seed list. Can anyone help with info for this? Could be 85 km SE of Springbok, (SA) according to https://www.cactuspoint.cz/e-shop/sukulenty-succulents...

Re: My avonia quinaria won’t root and it’s been almost a year. Please send help

Perhaps a "bath" in slightly diluted rooting hormone gel (e.g. Clonex here in the UK) could push the plant in the right direction?

Re: Seed pack labelling

If I may suggest, having an option to display all positions at once would serve the same purpose as a downloadable PDF I believe, it would also make ordering much faster on larger screens. Besides that, massive thanks (again) for making this happen! Do you mean a single long list? It's against good...

Re: Does anyone grow Echeveria purpusorum (Köhres 7540)

Still, thanks for the incoming photoshoot!
