Oh, that's a bummer! I haven't started this book yet, but the talk was interesting enough for it to stay on the "to read" pile.

Re: Seed trays of mixed seedlings Solved
I did this once (scientific methods at their finest...) and a lot of the early "risers" dampened off. It's been the only and last time I risked mixed genera/species seeds.

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...

I also just noticed that all the information from the "Details" are not printed out on the packing slip, hope the full 2024 seed list will be archived as a PDF for those who did not note them down. Edit: I also received 5 unexpected packets, 2 of them with nothing but species names (e.g. &...

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
