Hi Vic,

Sorry, I've no ID for the green creeping stuff around the Agave attenuata! This was at the back of the "bed" so I didn't get that close to it.
Cheers,
Colin

Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

Hi Maria,

Thanks for the IDs.

I/we should have included Eddy in our IDs! BTW, talking to him is David Minnion from Harrow Branch.
Cheers,
Colin

OK, more IDs needed. Who is on the back row of the first group, sort of between Maria & Lindsey?
Cheers,
Colin

I *think* she is a friend of Zi & Sheila, the tea ladies!
Derek did introduce her in the morning, but for the life of me I can't remember her name! :embar:

Colin,

A super Aloe cooperii. Is that one plant or a few growing together?
Mine is in flower right now and after spending the Summer outside it is taller than ever!



I would just like to say you are all looking much younger than you did in the 'What do you look like?' thread. Very impressive. Can anyone give any clues as to the techniques involved. I imagine you were all fully aware that photos would be posted!:rofl:
Especially interested in Mesembs. small Aloes and South African miniatures and bulbs.

Hi Brian,

Don't know about the Aloe cooperi. It was quite a way back into the bed, so I didn't get up close to it. This does clump up with age, so I suspect it's a single mature specimen, but this is me just speculating.

On the age thing, fortunately you've only see the rear end of me, in one of Bill's pics, with Ian, Tina and moi outside the alpine house.

Fortunately Tina left her camera in the car, so I never got to appear in a full frontal view.:rofl:
Cheers,
Colin
