Sitting around this winter due to covid and lack of allotment/cactus work we've been doing a lot of jigsaws.
So I was delighted to get this 1000 piece puzzle today for my birthday:

Re: Cactus presents
Thank you everyone
It's 20% done already but I think that's just because we've done the easy bits
I'll post a pic when complete just to show it can be done, they are addictive but will still take a few days

Re: Cactus presents
Dodgy naming on the puzzle? Or an inability to put the pieces in the right places?
