Hi all, I recently joined the BCSS and hope to contribute to the forums and gain knowledge from other members on here.
I have a growing collection of cacti and succulents withy current favourites being the trailing and hanging varieties, cleistocactus colademononis, aporocactus, etc.
Also interested in finding and adding other interesting varieties to my collection. As well as the hanging varieties, my plants are a currently a conservatory windowsill collection, but saying that I've had to add additional shelving to accommodate them.
I live roughly between Leek and Stoke on Trent in Staffordshire, UK.
That's about it for now, looking forward to chatting to you via the forums.
Regards
David

Welcome to the BCSS and to the Forum David. It sounds as though you are building up your collection, most of us know about adding extra shelving! Enjoy your plants.

Welcome to the BCSS, Dave, and to the forum.
You'll soon outgrow the conservatory, and shelving, and ......
You'll find the members here, lively and glad to help.
I'm a refugee from "roughly between Leek and Stoke on Trent " - I've emigrated to GOC (a.k.a. Yorkshire)
There's a branch of the BCSS who meet in Newcastle-under-Lyme - but I've not met any of the members face to face, and I think Rod Smith who posts on these forums goes to that branch - and a branch who meet in Wilmslow, of whom I have met a couple of members.

Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
