    Grump Bear said he remembers planting the seed of this one when he was a cub :)

    I have a few succulents Pac, trying to cut down on them as I'm not so much into them as I am cacti. I find customers ask me questions about them I don't really have an interest in them. Saying that, I do like a couple of them, the Kalanchoe on the previous page being one :)

    Tetters bought me some Galvasnized staging for the shop tunnel :cool:

    The extra shelving has made so much more space and I can actually get to the plants without having to step over everything. Saying that, it won't be long before the space in front of them has got plants on too :D

    Just about ready for Easter now :)

    Room to move Annie :)

    Mind you, the customers today ignored the for sale plants on the floor and went straight to the not for sale plants on the staging :rolleyes:

    Might have to think about swapping them over :D

    Sold 2 Tortoise food cacti though :)

    Another Gymnocalycium came into flower today

    Spent 6 days thinking I was filming a timelapse of the moving cacti but only 3 seconds of it came out :eek:
