Hiya!

Thank you for letting me join your forum, I'm looking forward to learning loads from you guys!

I have kept a range of cactus & succulents (and bonsai) for a while now, but I have only relatively recently became interested in the different species/specific care instructions/the geeky stuff

I am based in Sheffield, UK. I am lucky enough to live close by to a couple of amazing garden centres that have been fuelling my habit.

My favourite plant in my collection has to be my Mammillaria elongata (which I choose for my avatar picture), but I am also a fan of my Pleiospilos nelii.

I am currently growing some lithops from seed, which I have been really enjoying doing too.

I also love birds, so you will notice most of my plants are in bird themed pots I have painted ^_^

I love learning new things, so thanks again for letting me join.
