Hello from Essex

Post by Rickyp165 »

Good evening all!

Am fairly new to the hobby but looking to take in as much knowledge as I can so will be making my way through all sorts of posts and threads.

I am located in Essex and once lockdown is over will be really keen to attend local meetings and shows!

My set up is a conservatory so the collection is fairly small at the moment but have purchased a nice big display table I’m keen to start to fill.

I have attached a couple of pictures of a few of my favourites. I hope you like and look forward to talking with you all as time goes by.

Thanks

Rick

Welcome to the forum.
You will find it often lively.
That's a fine Gymnocalycium you show.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Welcome to the Forum Rick, you've got some nice plants there. It's a shame that this wretched virus has caused so much to be cancelled this year, many of us would have been attending the National Show this weekend. However, I am sure that you will enjoy your branch meetings when they restart, and will soon fill your display table. Enjoy your plants!
