Re: Rummage at your peril
When I was a kid, I popped into the greenhouse one rainy autumn day wearing a cagoule with velcro at the sleeves. I picked up a Mammillopsis senilis to admire... This is still possibly one of the stupidest things I have ever done

Re: Rummage at your peril
Conrad - you might have met our other Phil in fact. He grew the strobiliformis and I would have been tempted myself if I hadn't recently bought a similar one. It will be interesting to see what other plants you bought. The prices were very reasonable and of course I ended up buying quite a few, despite having nowhere to put them really. Plus the bonus one for free.

Re: Rummage at your peril
Hi Phil,
I realised after I posted you might be a different Phil, oops!
The plants were indeed reasonably priced, and a great selection too, I picked up a Puna subterranea too, another I've been wanting for a while.
I'll post pics tomorrow after work.

Re: Rummage at your peril
Here's my haul, had to restrain myself to only get 7 plants.
Puna Subterranea
Adromischus marianiae
Eriosyce aerocarpa
Stenocactus lamellosus
Rebutia heliosa
Echinopsis hybrid "Dainty Bess"
Pelecyphora strobiliformis
Apologies the pictures are a little dodgy, lost the charger for my camera so I'm using an very old digital camera.

Re: Rummage at your peril
Oh that's exciting, the first time I see a couple of my own pics in a "I just bought post". Good choice Conrad

The show stand was indeed amazing with most of the plants from just two members.

Re: Rummage at your peril
Yep I'm pretty chuffed with what I managed to get.
Patrick - Did you grow some of these plants? Which ones? Amazing that most of them came from two members, they must have impressive greenhouses!
