Is it really nearly November???

Post by Vic »

Hi all,

My weather station is showing 33C today and I haven't watered for weeks but won't be tempted!

No, its October 29th ;)

Glorious sunny day here too. But don't anyone else be tempted, the long range forceast is for much colder weather this week.

Love those miniature Mamms. My cacti are about done but the odd flower keeps popping here and there.

I've got to bring my cacti & succulents in today. (And dig up an Ensete ventricosum but that's a bit off topic)

Hi Vic
Lovely plants. Your own seedlings? I have a couple of plants budded up but I don't think either are going to make it. The greenhouse just isn't getting enough direct sun now.

Hi Vic,
wish my hernandezii were that far advanced. The one I forced on in the propagator last year does not seem to have come to any harm though.
