Nice timing too, with the both of them about to burst into bloom.

I bid on a Cono, so I was already paying the postage from this seller, and this little chappie was sitting all forlorn for a £1 bid. It's Faucaria woolii and I'd never seen it for sale before. The seed was from the BCSS bank so it should be genuine.  The seller also included an extra spare Cono and a Cheiridopsis sp. in the parcel. Can't fault that  |

I noticed this chappie in Wilkinsons for £2.50 in a small ceramic cover pot. He just had to be rescued and re-homed. I believe it's Faucaria britteniae but willing to be proved wrong if you know differently. In the meantime it's Faucaria wilkos   |
