Hi,
There's some tips on posting photos at viewtopic.php?f=47&t=156306 - the appearance/layout of some of the screens has changed a bit since I wrote that but not so much that it's unintelligible, I hope. (You can use slightly larger file sizes but 250 is still a good size)

Re: Dont be shy
New member! Because of my house move, I don't have any halfway decent photos of me with my plants. So, here's one of me at work (I wasn't kidding when I said I have to dress up as a cavewoman).
Vice-chair Sheffield branch & Internet Committee member. @xericdelights on Instagram. 700 plants later and I still haven't picked a favourite genus!

Re: Dont be shy
Hello
I have just become a member, having been a registered user for a few weeks. During the weeks I shared a few posts and am grateful for the answers.
Although I have some years experience in Bonsai, Cacti and Succulents are new to me and am now learning quickly.
I received an excellent membership pack and a warm welcome letter from Tony Morris (Membership Secretary) and a warm welcome letter from Sheila Gibbs, Membership Secretary of the Fife Branch. Thank you both.
I am now looking forward to getting a grip on this seemingly vast subject.

But equally handsome!
First it was orchids, then, since c.2001, cacti and succulents. I'm into South African plants, mainly conos, lithops and haworthias, with a few cacti, especially 'posh' mamms, turbs and other smalls. Now it’s stapeliads as well...

Not sure Brodie (or my wife come to that) would agree...

Re: Dont be shy
Greetings from a dreary grey Manchester. My name is John, and I am rekindling an old passion, as I return to the wonderful world of cacti and succulents. I'm trying my hand at Lithops, which I killed many years ago, but I am now armed with many cultivation guides that weren't readily available when I first attempted to care for them. I have planted these in a wonderful handmade planter from an artist in the Basque region of Spain. He grows tons of succulents and cacti, makes incredibly detailed botanical drawings, and raises Italian greyhounds.
