Hello from Aberdeen!

Post by SteveG »

Hello everyone!

I just got signed up here but I've been an member for a couple of years now.

Living in the NE of Scotland makes it a challenge to grow anything that needs lots of light but I manage pretty well with a small greenhouse and grow lights inside the house as well.

My collection has a wide variety of speices; Ferocactus, Parodia, Copiapoa, Tephrocactus, Mammillaria. A few odd succulents as well to fill in some gaps (which there are not many of now!). Never enough space for everything I want :lol: .

Welcome to the forum.
I think most people would agree that there is never enough space ... even with Tardis technology.
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.

Welcome to the forum Steve! We have a small but keen group in the Aberdeen area. Meetings have been on hold for a long time (like everywhere else) but we are now starting up again with a couple of member's greenhouse visits soon.
