Cactus and Succulent Review

Post by Sheila »

Hi,

Just to let you know that the December issue of the Cactus and Succulent Review is now available at https://www.cactusandsucculentreview.org.uk

I have something different for you this time, an article on the succulent violas of the high Andes written by John Watson and Anita Flores who are leading experts in these amazing plants.

There are plenty of other things as well of course.

We are also trying an experiment. As the CSR files get larger, they may become more difficult to download to older computers, tablets or phones. With this in mind we are now offering a choice of high or low resolution file sizes. The low resolution files are much smaller, but with very little loss of quality. Both sizes can be downloaded from the link given above.

Best wishes,
Sheila

Just gets better and better.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Thanks Sheila, another excellent edition. The choice of resolution is a good idea, low resolution was fine on my I pad.

Was looking forward to reading this but cannot see it in the magazine! Did you forget to publish this article or am I being dumb and missing it?
