    Got the Anomatheca laxa seeds from RHS as well. I can save some seeds for you if you wish just in case RHS don't have them this year. This one ( red on red) is good, but I've seen pictures of white with red markings which I like very much. I'm looking out for it but have yet to find it. :what:

    Echeveria - almost lost these over the winter but I repotted them and removed the dead stuff and they come back to full health

        Mine was in the cold g/house and seems really happy now. There was a lot of dead foliage to clean up, but that may well have been because it was kept dry?

        You don't need an SLR these days, IMHO a "bridge" will do.

        Same image, cropped.

        All hand-held; there was some light cloud which I think accounts for parts of the moon not being very clear

                You're all too kind, but all I did was point the camera at the moon

                But I can recommend the camera :)

                      Bilbo the Echeveria is really eye-catching - you must be so happy that you managed to revive it after the winter period - well done!

                        Sinbad, I overwintered Mango in the greenhouse last winter and nearly lost it, the Sunsatias are larger than the other Nemesias and are cuttings raised not seed, I recently got some more from Unwins, I'll post some pics when they are fully in flower.
