If anything I've noticed better growth on my plants this year - I've put this down to them not having had much of a rest midsummer as they would usually. It may also be down to having finally repotted quite a number of them (and having fed them more... :oops: )

Generally I have thought it has been a poor season but ideal for my Aloe polyphyllas which love it cool and wet.

I love seeing mammillarias (and similar cacti) flowering. The flower always seems enormous when compared to the size of the plant! This one is amazing - well done.
