Had a gr8 time looking at all the exhibits, some of the plants were just awesome. My daughter got 11 awards in the novice section and picked up some tips on how to show cacti.

Bought quite a few new plants at some very decent prices. Found and purchased a Mamm. pectinifera and an Astro caput medusae, hope I don't kill em, lol.

The pictures can be viewed at the following url coz I can't work out how to upload images here, sorry.

Your welcome HN.
Lewis - I spent a bit more than I planned to as well, but you are right - the prices were fantastic - and where else could you get em for the prices they were asking?
I ended up with about 25 new plants, lol.

Betty, it's some type of euphorb that my daughter purchased. Even the seller wasn't sure what it was, asked some other peeps and they couldn't put their finger on a name either, only to say its not capsaintemarias (spelling prolly wrong lol).

Looks like it was a great show Vicki. Looks like you scored some nice plants too! Thanks for putting those pics up for us.

Some of those 'multiple' peres grafts are totally amazing, bit of food for thought there.

Very Happy

I'm shattered I missed the show. It sounds like it was great. Luckily Kanje scooped up a few plants for me, a 'Super Kabuto' and a Siningia I think he said.
Hopefully theres another meeting before the end of the year, anyone know if there's one set for november?
