Good article in the Telegraph gardening supplement on C&S. It was even featured on the front page of the actual paper. Shame it was labelled cacti and the accompanying picture on the front page was H. attenuata and the actual article was the same labelling them all as cacti rather than succulents.

Shame the only chose to mention one nursery Abbeybrook and no mention of the Society and the accompanying offer was not much to shout about a O.microdasys and N. magnificus for ?20 ::o

But all said and done it wasn't a bad article and any publicity is better than none.

The article seems quite good but if the public think that a 'special offer price' of ?12.95 for one or ?20 for two is a representative price it will put off more than it will attract.
