Re: A Wisley Cactus
Lovely pics, Maria, they all look nice and healthy, it'll be interesting to see if they still do so a few years hence!

The cabbage was a rather nice Plectranthus of which there were several varieties, but I thought the positioning was rather inappropriate. A few more months and the cacti will have disappeared.
Did anyone notice the two M. bombycina were quite different in spine colour. Is this just natural variation or something more?
