Hi Steve,
small world isnt it?
i have to agree with your comments though, its frustrating to see and hear so much about the specialist growers and hybridizers in america, and the lack of them in the UK, it takes so long for them to cross the water, and then to get propagated for retail
Maybe its our climate, too wet and cold for too long , whilst so much of america is just ideal for the Agave, Aloes, etc to prosper.. that the wider populace just hasnt got into them yet, and their arent enough serious collecctors (like us two!!
) to make it commercially viable
