Hi All,

Carol, there are only four pots in that picture, and technically, only four plants! Leftmost is my baby Bunya Bunya Tree (Auricaria bidwillii) which is currently playing host to a baby fig tree and some toad flax, both of which I need to get rid of!
The Stapelia gigantea is in the middle and there is a Pachypodium lameirii at the back right with my poor bay tree being smothered by the purple flowered Aptenia cordifolia in front of the Pachypodium. No Cereus of any kind there - I am a bit confused!

Alison, that cute animal is my rather battered concrete Siamese cat - when Kael was a baby and he saw it for the first time, he hissed and spat at it - I fell about laughing! At the risk of diverting this thread even further from it's intended purpose, here is a picture of Kael (the big SOOK) "helping" me plant my new Narcissus order last year - by sitting on the bulbs! He is a big boy - he weighs about 15 pounds and measures almost 3 feet long from nose to tail tip, but he is a complete coward - terrified of small children, all other cats, wind, dogs, rustling plastic bags etc etc.

Ciao, KK
