The BCSS National Show 2008
Posted by Stuart under: Cacti; Other Succulents .
Apologies for the protracted silence; it has after all been peak growing season and it’s a good deal more entertaining to be faffing about with plants than faffing about with computers.
Last weekend saw the 2008 British Cactus and Succulent Society National Show in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire – and what a show it was. Needless to say I brought back some new greenhouse inhabitants, including a couple of beautiful Mammillaria luethyi on their own roots from David Quail.

Lots of mesemb photos. During our show in April, there were very few mesembs. They must be popular in the UK. Interesting photos!

Thanks.
To be honest with you Aiyana, my photos are very biased towards the plants I’m interested in – there certainly wasn’t as heavy a bias towards mesembs as my photos suggest; I didn’t get round to taking photos of the leafy succulents, caudiciforms, and many of the cacti as I simply didn’t get time!
