Been building a new Cactus house

You need the element of suprise

 

Make sure you check for overwintering bugs on the cacti at this time of year

 

Candlemas is a Christian holiday celebrated annually on February 2. It celebrates three occasions according to Christian belief: the presentation of the child Jesus; Jesus’ first entry into the temple; and it celebrates the Virgin Mary’s purification

 

February 2 is groundhog day where we watch to see if the groundhog, "Punxatawnee Phil" comes outside, sees his shadow or not. If he sees his shadow, as he did this year, he goes back into his hole and it bodes 6 more weeks of winter.

 

Grump Bear went back into his hole today

 

Doesn't matter what I do these days, my Tephrocactus just goes floppy

 

Hmmmm, Sounds like a personal problem to me.

 

It must be that ring around the base. No way that is good.

 

I couldn't get it to firm up so I had to cut the end off and dust it with sulphur

 

. I just can NOT say what I am thinking !!

 

You are such a propagator! Tis the season though. Are you cacti-commercial or just for fun?

 

Filthy minds... you people disgust me

 

. Pot meet kettle !!
