The pictures and text on the Northants News web pages are the copyright of the Northampton and Milton Keynes Branch of the BCSS. However you are welcome to use both text and pictures for personal and non-commercial use, especially where this furthers an interest in growing cacti and succulents. (This is why we publish the magazine!) A link might be nice but we are not too fussed..

You will notice that picture quality in the web pages has been cut to the bone - the Ed apologises for the fuzziness. Do not adjust your monitor, this is compatible with fast loading and saving server space (though the Cactus-Mall has been most generous). When I have time I will publish both broadband and 28K versions! All the pictures have been derived from much higher resolution images; 5 megapixel for the National Show; two dead conifer leaves were edited from the original of one large featured winning cactus - did the Judges notice them? My software suggests that this picture alone would take 20 minutes to download over a 28K modem.

If you would like a higher resolution digital copy from the original image please contact the editor,
