Thanks for the pics, Colin. Wow, what a greenhouse! Sounds like everyone had a great weekend, hopefully I can make the next meeting.

Yes Colin that's indeed me and Michelle, soon after we got home that night got a phone call to say my dad had died so we flew back to NZ Monday night and just arrived today so very tired, so never got around to posting our photos from Wisley.

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!

Nice pics Colin. I like the Dasylirion acrotrichum. Homebase have them on sale, but for ?69. Too expensive. I've seem them going for ?20 at a local flower market. Are they tender or hardy in the UK?
