    In case anyone is interested, the biennial Cactus and Succulent Society of Ireland's show is on in the Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin. Always a delight for the eyes, sorry I forgot to point it out yesterday, so there's just Sunday left (or try again in two years...)

    Thanks for the reminder. :)

    Nice little selection there and lovely to see a fair few people browsing, showing interest and asking questions.

    Got myself a few Tillandsia there this morning, haven't seen them on sale in garden centres in ages.

    Yeah, I never have luck with airplants, I think the house is too dry for them (and i don't remember to mist them). That plant seller is pretty great for insectivores too, would recommend.
