    His Majesty's Government are sending out an alarm call on Sunday at 3pm to everyone's phone. You can't put your phone on silent, it will still shriek like a Banshee.

    Captain Neem Oil has got the right idea.

    Some late flowers from the Copiapoas. They live in the Atacama Desert and only get about 3mm of rain a year. They survive by absorbing moisture from the mist that comes off the Pacific Ocean. They have adapted cells on their surface called Trichomes that help trap the moisture.

    Such a pale, prehistoric looking petal! Is it as old as it looks?

    It looks like it could have have ancestors that were eaten by a spinosaurus.

    My latest graft - An Austrocylindropuntia pachypus grafted onto an Austrocylindropuntia subulata.

    The pachypus is very slow growing but the subulata grows about a foot a year so I'm hoping to get a 30 foot pachypus :cool:
