This will probably be to small for the next two or three nationals. It's a Gymnocalycium species.

While Chris's seedling does fit this month's category it is a little younger than what I was expecting :wink:

Last night the Liverpool Branch has a table show - all classes had restrictions with 12cm as the biggest size allowed. This size of plant was what I thought would appear this month....

Here you go Jim, in a two inch pot.

Mainly Haworthia and Gasteria, a few other South African succulents and the odd spiky thing.
