Alison. Mostly interested in succulents. Always like a good Faucaria and outdoor Sedum. Currently gathering plants that could be confused with Pachyphytum oviferum.
Thanks for posting pics of NY botanical gardens. I visited there Christmas 2014. I'll dig the pics out. It was lovely to see another persons perspective. I'm a cactus girl so all of mine were of cactus and the very nice lady that I chatted to there let me go and hop over the wall in to the cactus and suculent garden even though it was closed . I had a lovely time there but a day wasn't really enough and it was mid winter so it was cold.
Maintain National collections of Copiapoa, Matucana and Turbinicarpus for Chester Zoo
Personal favorites Ferocactus, Astrophytums or anything with a purple or pink colour.
