Just to clear things up a bit, an elk and a moose are entirely different animals. Look them up, and see the differences.

For those that do not know the difference between the ELK Conference and a Moose, I believe the event originally started as "The Three Lands Conference", with just three European countries taking part, but has broadened out so now ELK stands for "European Countries' Conference". It has one of the best gatherings of plant sales in Europe, plus most of the newly discovered plants are usually on sale, at least as grafted seedlings.

Prices on the plants in the link below are in Euros (€) of course.

I was thinking about disguise for Lotte & Kate as cacti, but than again someone might want to buy them...so Jose's proposal is way more suitable. :lol:

Hello,

It would be really nice to meet you again, but this year I am affraid this won`t be possible. My colleagues can`t come and for only one that is to big cost to come and to big distance too.
So I will be glad to see some photos of your meeting and toasting with sparklings... :) Enjoy!
More pictures of my cacti&succulents in 2016:

Just one week and a bit to go! Enough time for AgaveSK and Majcka to change their mind...

The ladies are young - they should be flexible!

I do not want to meet only with these old guys like Aiko and Jose. . . :) :wink:
