Hello guys
My name is Ben and yep I'm a rookie. But looking forward to getting to know you all and learning more about this most unusual and intriguing species. I've spent a lifetime [45 years] gardening and growing vegetables, but I only really took on an interest in succulents and cacti during the lockdown. Okay I have a couple of standard sedums in the garden but that is it
No idea how I've been missing them all of this time.....The kids are even interested in the spikey ones
Hello and Happy New Year

Hello and Happy New Year
If you're looking for me, take a quick look at the bottom of the garden, or perhaps in the greenhouse tending to my Succulents

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. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.
