        Yes as Victoria says a nice selection, and all flowering at the same time.

        I've always found epiphyllic cacti a bit unruly but you have tamed them pretty well.
        I probably need more hanging baskets and and places to hang them.

          There is one in the village near us that grows up a lamp post ... its unruliness is why I never fancied one.

          I had a Crassula once I would love to have again ...

          Can anyone name the species please?

              Nothing wrong with unrulyness as long as you have a lampost available.

                Thank you Michael. Next time I go to Pina Garden Center I will check with them as they have a large cacti/succulent section.

                    Whys that?
                    So you could just visit there instead of having to grow them yourself.

                      The section is bigger than that ... it is a pic I took off their website. This place (family run) is humongous and the rest. It is my favourite place ... and quite reasonably priced too.

                            It's exciting when they flower. I think a bit of neglect helps :dbgrtmb:

                                These Easter Cacti seem to have responded well since I repotted them! I now hope to see flowers on them next year.
