Amazing plants and wonderful to see them all.

I think really I need to take them all home for a closer look but as it's you that's offering Tina I'll happily take three of your prize winners

Echeveria agavoides ebony

and Echinocactus horizontalonius

From the cacti, I would love to take home Richard Strelow's Echinopsis - love the feathered/streaked flowers.

I bet lots of the forumite chaps look like this before their shearing at the barbers.
I definitely do but then I had a head start :lol:

I might have name for your Haworthia CC4852, will try and remember to check next I am in the greenhouse.

Nothing in the Haworthia class I haven't got so it will have to be Tina's Agave parryi 'Tuxedo Kamen', although there are few others in that class I would take home too.

No-one else seems to want the Mestoklema tuberosum. Does that mean I can keep it? :mrgreen:

I didn't think Joyce's numbers went as high as CC4852?
Perhaps it is CC2852 bayeri (correcta)?

Did the CCO numbers go that high maybe?

As for my take home plant, I might have to look back through and check, but most likely candidate is Tina's Echinocactus horizonthalonius which appears in the banner.

My favourite is a multi-headed Mammillaria lenta in full flower, looks a superb plant. Diane's Crassula celia is a close second, but I'd probably kill it! and she wouldn't let me have it in any case :grin:

Somewhere in there is a huge Pelargonium triste. That'll do for me.
