Re: Seed trays of mixed seedlings Solved

Re: Website broken links

I just want to report that all works fine on my laptop with Win 10 Pro (Build 19045, probably the most recent) and Firefox 121.0.1 (updated today). My "default app" for Email is blank and Firefox is my default Browser. Clicking on all the obfuscated mailto links simply open a new email for...

Re: A few Epithelantha & some ID needed plz

Not helpful at all, but what a lovely score! Especially this clumping E. micromeris unqispinus (I would be tempted to chop the main head off just to make it more coherent visually, but please don't do that!) and the fluffy no-ID one at the end.

Re: Seeking Mammillaria densispina
