    They are doing well mira, as you probably know faster growing that a lot of cacti.
    Are you hoping for fruit one day?

    I've just found this thread, Mira - naturally, after I posted the following pics elsewhere. (Edible Gardening / Exotic Fruits) The ones in your pic are loaded with fruit!


    We saw these in Malta this week, they make yummy jelly from them -
