As well as measuring him against his Saguaro, we enjoyed pictures of his habitat adventures since the early 1980’s (when he had thick black hair!). He is known for his love of Ferocactus, about which he co-wrote the BCSS book with John Pilbeam, published in 2005. He also likes columnar cacti which enjoy growing in his huge glasshouse. GC Thelocactus Website Redesigned My favourite website about Thelocactus has been updated and redesigned. Alessandro Mosco has done a really good job and I am sure you will find his new site interesting and useful for identifying your plants. Look at http://www.thelocactus.cactus-mall.com GC Photo: G.
