Hi

I've recently joined bcss. I've attended a couple of local (North Surrey) meetings and took myself down to the Croydon show last weekend, which I was mightily impressed with - needless to say, came away with a few specimens! I've been interested in cacti for years, but only started collecting them a year ago. Therefore am on a steep learning curve! At present I just want to collect as many examples of different genera as possible, too early to specialise I think. I didn't think I was interested in non-cacti, but I'm pretty much as equally hooked on other succulents too. I'm very impressed by the forum and the mine of information available from so many friendly people. As to be expected, I have a few ID's needed so expect some more posts very soon...

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

to the forum. You can't be all that far from me, I'm near North Cheam, and I attend Kingston branch, you'd be very welcome there too! You'll find lots of help here if you need it.

to the Forum, Adrian.

Dartford Branch meetings might be a stone's throw away from you too - well, round the M25 - for a warm welcome.

Hi Adrian and a warm

to the forum.
When you first start collecting it’s a good idea to just buy the plants that take your eye and not to get tied into specific genera too early. Favourites will eventually rise to the top.
