Title: Prickly situation
Post by: Mrs Ava on May 31, 2005, 12:04:40
Don't remember the name of this prickly customer, but can tell you it is a cactus, which droops so is in a hanging basket, is mean as it has tiny prickles which stick in your arms and make you itch like crazy, but you are rewarded with these wonderful blooms!  Had a count up and there are 21 flower buds!

p.s.  Was it you Pat that sent me a cutting of a different coloured one?  If so, just to update, it is growing like mad so fingers are tightly crossed for flowers next year!

I think it's one of the hybrid epiphyllums.

Thanks for the warning, Emma! Never get hooked by a pretty face?

PS My Christmas one is only just realising that it likes its new home.
