I'd show you a pic of my cactus which I grew from seed donkeys years ago.  Trouble is it's covered in dust.  I blow on it occasionally  ;D

Thanks everyone.  Something I have never owned and would love is an acer, also peach or nectarine tree.  I am always spotting plants that I would love, but those are specials and really tooo pricey for me to justify.  :-\

The white cactus was purchased at the Eden project the first time we went and daughter number one wanted it, so it is her pride and joy!

Bananas, just letting the do there thing and keeping fingers crossed!

Acers can be really cheap! Depends on how patient you are! My neighbour's was £4 from Woolies!!! Mine was £3 from Malvern show....OK so they are still about a foot tall but only a year since we got them...we can wait!

Emma - there are Acers & Acers??

This is only 9 years old - to replace a 100yr old Bramley which popped its clogs. We needed instant shade.

Colleen - whose photo?

EJ I am envious of your white Christmas Cactus. Never seen a white one before,it's gorgeous!

Tim your garden looks delightful. I'd love to sit under that tree. It's lovely.

It is lovely Heldi, and as the blooms open they turn a delicate baby pink!
