It is with great sadness that I have to report that John Pilbeam has passed away after a very short illness.
I’m sure that there will be many out there who knew John and were impressed by his great knowledge and experience of succulent plants of all kinds and he will be sorely missed in the Cactus community.

I will have John's books for sale at Cactus at the Castle at Lullingstone this weekend
