Thanks folks, it was just a quick overview video of the plants on show, I'm glad I went down to visit.
Cheers

Yes, I am. Probably on the Sunday.

Nidus, subgibbosa?

Pretty funny.
If you see Ray Stephensons talk on heroes and villains of the succulent world you'll find Sir Oliver Leese somewhat castigated

Presumably no one from the judges committee 'got back' to anyone on the subject of some such plants at shows?

Glad to hear your positivity and that your enjoying branch activities there. Good luck with your seeds in the growing season!

Looking good for those seedlings! Nice.
I get fed up 9f how the mealy bug always seem to return on the nicest eriosyce first, I've lost count of the pots I have throw away or disinfected, compost disposed of, and plants sprayed. Only for the bugs to return a few months later.

Neglected and lost label, but maybe help at hand? Almost disposed of after a bad mite attack and sunburn, but with new growth bursting through, is this a small echinocereus?

Not looking forward to its repot.
