That's a tasty looking mouthful.

That's a very god excuse for a photo of a boot with some dodgy plant in the background

Perhaps I need to try to include part of a bike in with the cactus for scale... wonder if the foot is still needed... or a boot/sandal... I know: got it - my crutches! that should work..

When are you going to give it to her?

Well, I'll probably empty my sack at the foot of her bed on Christmas Eve.

Nice Cactus, mine had a couple of flowers on it a couple of weeks ago, they've gone now and I've got one bud left on it, I must find time for some TLC and perhaps a change of compost.

Is that mug one of those ones that reveals writing when it's hot?

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

I noticed that too! I cba to get a ladder out to clean them - I'll just the glazier in to replace them.

Move the table closer to the window and the cactus a little to the left and you put the smeary window out of view. Sorted.

Not an xmas Cactus, but meet lurchio (sorry about the pic quality)

A mug like that really takes the biscuit. It needs a dunk like this...crumbly, tendency to flop when moist, messy and a little snappy if dry for extended periods.

I love Rich's cactus!

Mods please move Ian's post to the Post A Lie thread.

Noooooo.. you'll have me posting in the tea or 3 words thread next...

Lovely cactus @rich p
Mine (two of them) flower twice a year

 

[ianrauk]

I bet your windows are cleaner than his, though.

Who's aren't?

 

[rich p]

Gits.

Why "though"?
Is a twice a year flowering cactus a bad thing?

crap photo time for @User14044 including the crutches for him...

It really needs repotting yet again... seems to be growing something chronic at the moment, so I may treat it to some new soil in the spring when I can actually walk again.

Most of the flowers are on the otherside at the moment, and I can't turn the table or plant around... (best I could manage in the dark...)

plus just for rocky... one with a bike in it...

and the flowers.... a closer up.. of them.
