If that was just a few ££, it was a steal. Nice.

Many thanks Mike, much appreciated. It even fooled a novice like me, who thought it was a Lithops!!

Cheers,
Fred.

Nice potful, probably each head is a separate seedling. :smile:

The nearest Sainsbury's to me has got to be around 20 miles away.

Make the most of it :-)
