Happy Christmas & Thanks

Post by Rich45s »

Hello All,

You may or may not remember me. I’ve talked to a few of you and you’ve helped immensely with advice and plants so thank you.

This years been really about plodding along and sorting out a few things, which I now look to be on top of, so next year I should be able to put more time in with my various plants and cacti.

So I really like the snazzy new website and I hope to be able to chip in more and also get more plants and treat them better.

All the best and Happy Christmas & a happy whatever else people celebrate or don’t.

Cheers,

Rich

And a happy Christmas from me too. Special wishes and thanks to all contributors to this forum who give their help in any way to advise and encourage. It's this which makes a society great.

You especially Ralph. Thank you very much.

Between you and a rather pricy (but perfectly understandable why it’s pricy) I know a hell of a lot more about crassulas (and own a fair few more) than I did at the start of the year.

Perhaps concentrating on one genus? At a time works for me. But definitely be picking up other bits that take my eye

It's Chris Rodgerson who deserves most of the credit for the Crassulas - I'm just the piggy-in-the-middle as far as his cuttings go. :grin:
Thanks Chris!

Happy Christmas everyone. I've already had one cactus present - a sowing gift set from secret Santa at work.

Was debating getting some saguaro seeds. Will be interesting to see what germinates from the others too, if anything!

Saguaro sounds a cool idea.
But the crimbo gift looks interesting
