Have we turned into a market stall?

This page of the Forum comprises mainly cabbages and other vegetables. Where are all the cactus folk? C'mon chaps, I know it's the dormant season, but we spikie people are being overwhelmed.

Memo to me: must get some pics of nice real plants, not nature's aberrations.....:?

Don't worry, Peter, somebody will find something interesting to say about cacti one day.

I was in the greenhouse this morning and was taken by how nice some of my Mamms were looking, even tho they're still napping.

We're hibernating with our plants

Don't worry Peter, revenge will be had in a few months when the spring flowerings come along

In fact, a couple of my Mamm's including a decent sized cluster of M. laui v dasyacantha are budding up right at the moment. I'll see if there's enough flowers open to justify a couple of pics this weekend.

I noticed one of my rebutias is budding as well, so that should flower in a few weeks I should think.

I'm not sure if they're a bit early perhaps, maybe cos I keep my greenhouse a decent temp.

But it won't be long,we'll soon be getting pictures like these posted regularly.

Roll on April and May.

Hi lovers of the spiny ones, that's why I felt so very well in this forum and I surely don't mine to see some spines, now and again, all the more as they show very cosy and delicate flowers
