Re: Mammillaria talk tonight
Well done Chris
What an epic, I think we needed a half time interval. I feel I know a lot more of mams than 2.30 hours ago. He really has so much knowledge and enthusiasm for these plants.
Thank you

Re: Mammillaria talk tonight
Great talk, thank you very much Chris! There certainly are a great many gems among the Mammillaria - I've jotted down the names of a good few varieties I shall try to find for my collection.

Sorry, Chris, great talk, but I had to leave before the end as I had a conflicting engagement later in the evening.

Re: Mammillaria talk tonight
Thanks guys.
I don't know where the time went, as when I practiced it, I got through it in about 1 hr 20 mins. Must have talked more quickly!
For those who are wondering if we'd do more, then yes, we will, and are planning one one each quarter. If they go down wel with our members, then they could well become a standard fixture well beyong this year. The next talk is due in June, details later, but speaker will be Wolter ten Hoeve from the Netherlands.

Re: Mammillaria talk tonight
I was really looking forward to this talk, and I missed it! Was it recorded by any chance?
