Grown from society seed. You too could have a plant like this in less than 20 years. Or better!

Getting the hang of it now, but must be starting to run out of buds.

Have a large balanced collection of both cacti and succulents but enjoy growing cristate, monstrose and generally anything a bit weird!

There were six plants of a similar size at an auction I went to recently. Unfortunately, I think at least five, if not all six, were dead :(
Growing in Nottingham for the past 4 years and recently found my way to a Nottingham branch meeting. A few plants on a windowsill has very quickly turned into a greenhouse full!

Attempting to grow a range of turbinicarpus, coryphantha, escobaria and several other cactus genera. Tylecodons, pelargoniums and conophytums keep me occupied in the winter and an ever expanding number of gasteria live under the bench.
