Front cover: This photo is of a spectacular flowering specimen of Borzicactus (Cleistocactus) samaipatanus, grown by Mr J A Hart of Hartford, Cheshire. It is a well-known species in the sense that most cactus-growers try to grow one at some point in their careers. Alan is a long-standing Fellow of the Society and celebrated 60 years of membership in 2012. He maintains a keen interest across the spectrum of cacti and succulents and his wealth of experience and expertise, always freely shared, is evidenced by this plant.Photo: Peter Cupial-Jones)
