I am sure our plants begging for a drink, so here is the chance to take a shot before you start watering.

You are not getting much trade so far Liz, so I presume a plant in habitat would qualify too? :grin:

That looks dry enough for me. Since everyone out there is just looking at the moment, perhaps I can inspire you with a couple of my dried up plants.
Maybe not dried up but certainly curled up,

I went out mid-morning to return my sales plants to the greenhouse after last nights meeting and I found this plant in the middle of the patio. There was a Rhipsalis perched on top of the tap ready to turn the water on with it's trailing stems, but sadly it managed to scarper before I could take it's picture. :shock: :shock: :shock:
