Re: September 2024 - Rarities
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.

I might have lucked out here by accident!
A recently collected, soon-to-be-described tuberous Euphorbia species in a greenhouse of Rikus van Veldhuisen (of the u4ba.nl fame, shared here with Rikus' blessing):

Re: September 2024 - Rarities
I’m not a great fan of monstrous forms, but I do like this one, hardly ever seen in collections as far as I’m aware.
Turbinicarpus krainzianus minimus mons..
I just wish it were easier to keep in great condition. Since this picture was taken it’s suffered the loss of several stems, but it’s still alive and kicking. Fortunately, cuttings root quite easily, if slowly.
