Welcome Stutters. Looks like we have a few members who know each other already. Excellent! That's what I like to see, this community is really starting to grow.

Would you like a copy of the ACF newsletter? I issued it yesterday but I don't I had approved your account at that time. happy to send.

I was in the RBGS a month or so back and the cacti garden looked great, did you see the Melocactus sp. they looked like they were going to flower (not sure) but they have the most amazing purplish cephalium on top, they are so cute. Some nice Trichos and Myrtles and Oreos too. There is really nice Soehrensia sp. it's quite large, just before you enter the CG gate, really want to collect some of those, never seen them for sale though. Might have to get seed.

Nice collection too by the way. It's so nice to see people's collections seen some lovely ones so far.

Just having a look at your flickr pics Stutters.
Do you have an ID for this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stutters/389538192/

Picke one up recently because it looked so interesting. I know it's some sort of Carrion Flower, not sure which type though, I suspect Stapelia sp. Don't know much about succulents though.

WOW, thank you all for your kind words and welcome.

Trigonus, mine is a Huernia of some sort. It's one I haven't found a proper name for yet. They are quite promiscuous and difficult to id accurately scratch

. Sorry I can't help you. Do you have pictures of yours?... in flower?
