Lovely watercolours in the October journal. Especially the H reinwardtii on the back cover - I can now claim to be able to grow habitat like plants……

Here is a similar one I saw at Drivers Bush east of Grahamstown back in 2011:

I agree with MikeP
Superb
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.

That's really interesting, but the watercolours were the part that attracted my interest and awe the most as well. I would not mind seeing more of these in the publications going forward (tu)
