This is the last big show of the year, in a great venue, it's very good of Birmingham Botanical Gardens to let us use one of their large function rooms. Apart from the Show, there will be a large quantity of sales plants from three nurseries, Tony Irons, Woodside and Plantlife along with a 'members sales' area where almost anything can turn up. It's from the members sales area combined with a post on the forum that led to a plant eventually selling for £7000 so don't miss out, it's this Sunday. There's a good restaurant at the gardens and plenty to see as well as the show so allow plenty of time for a visit. The gardens open at 10am.

It was the succulent equivalent of the 'Dutch Tulip Bubble', a post on the Forum served as a catalyst, you'll have to ask me at the Birmingham Show when I'm not judging or maybe at Spalding Cactus Mart next year or at their branch meeting the night before. Sadly, that's the nearest I get to Leeds these days.
