Re: Hello Everyone
Nice collection, definitely matching my taste for globular cacti! I also appreciate the odd C. 'Gollum' in between all the cacti

Based in London, slowly expanding my modest C&S collection. In love with P. compactum & Co. and columnar Crassulas.

Welcome to the forum, Ziggy. A very nice collection - and I love the accompanying soundtrack.

Thanks for the heads up. I've only lived in Kent for 2 years so only had a year to explore before lockdown.
We'd been to The Secret Garden Centre at Birchington, got some good plants but not a single label to be seen.
Apart from that we've been getting a few plants from local nurseries and from ebay.
Got several pots of seedlings on the go at the moment and have just started digging the footings for a dedicated cacti house (9.5 metres by 3)

Re: Hello Everyone
Hopefully, there'll be a cactus mart at Herne Bay just up the road from you next April if all's OK by then.
