Bamaplast pots

Hi, Would anybody new a source of Bamaplast pots 7x7x8? That is apart from Bamaplast itself, which is based in Italy, as postage costs are really high. I really was not able to find anything online.

Re: Haworthia (or so :) ) limifolia

One of my favourites Haworthias (Haworthiopsis). I have probably that many, if not more, different localities and clones. Highly unappreciated species. Good effort on keeping that many!

Where did you get these from Mike?

Re: 1st edition Reynolds The Aloes of South Africa - anyone got one?

The 1970 edition has a separate plate with A. striatula, but in black and white. I would be surprised, if previous editions had different plates in colour, but you never know.

You can carry on giving them water all year round, as long as you keep them in a reasonable warmth - I am mean frost free plus few degrees on a top of that. Or on a window sill, where they will be very happy as well. In nature they tend to grow in...
