Welcome Craig Fry!

Fabulous!!! Thanks for doing the 5 and a half year comparison. It gives me hope that my little gems will grow up one day and look as good as yours.

Just awesome!

Thanks for the photos!


Best regards

That Haworthia truncata "Lime Green" looks like a plant from another world!

Great photos!

Only 5 and half years
Let's take a look at some of the transformation from that first year to October 2103

Let's roll the clock back a little further. This image taken in Craig & Denice's hobby house 10/21/2006. That's 7 years and 8 days ago by my watch.

I think I see your A. fissuratus v. lloydii there in the front row. Glad to see that this stuff is still growing strong and that the 100 losses a year didn't seem to include many of these. Not that I would have expected anything else ...

Keep up the great photo log of your collection. Even knowing you for years, I am still amazed at your results. Must be the lemonaid, Denise

Cheers ... GeneS

That Uebelmannia of yours looks HUGE and massive!

W o n d e r f u l ! ! !


May I ask how long you've cultivate plants? You show many old / large plants and groups, very impressive!


Enthusiastic greetings

I've been at this for 20 years.
I'm happy that I got into this early, at 55, I got another good 25 years in me.
