OMG it's been an exciting day...;-))

WOW how jealous am I.
They all look fantastic.

I look forward to seeing a pic of everyone with their name.

having them all with labels is just the iceing on the cake Trees. i had a little go at dead heading one with the tweezers and to my amazement there were seeds......if you were closer i'd share a few with you...;-))

I remember my wife doing the same with tweezers, and yes she too wondered what the little black bits were.

They look lovely all together but I shall wait for the phonecall when you want rid......

there are over one hundred different cacti.....i cant wait to get started tomorrow. need to pot some on and water all of them. but i have to start with the agaves..there are two different ones.
i wounder how long they take to grow from seeed???

Such a great collection of Cacti Sandra, they look in great shape,good job you had plenty of help,Jack seemed really busy!!! Lol. well done you deserve a well earned rest:~)))

One of youre Agaves looks like the Royal agave, Agave victoriae-reginae.
a nice Mother in laws cushion, Echinocactus grusonii.

Make sure you do your home work though Sandra as I know a couple of my wifes cacti are quite expensive, as they have come from cacti nurseries and not your regular garden centres.

Seed... You were not planning to go any where soon were you?

Its all amazing Sandra, good luck with them :-))

~brilliant~lucky you!

You have a wonderful collection there Sandra but I dont envy you the repotting bit,mine never flower although I do get babies sometimes from some of them......

What a wonderful collection. You'll enjoy them.

I'm fine Mookins, waiting for a delivery from Ebay !

huh
im not ever using ebay or paypal again

anything exciting?
x x x

just a couple more water butts.
Why?

I was told there had been some suspected fraudulent use so for security reasons they shut down my account... which is brilliant yes by all means be safe. but they are holding my money for 160 days!!

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

xx x x

That sounds a bit drastic? They don't suspect you of fraudulent use though do they?
I was just wondering if this was a fraud in itself?

thats the thing I cant get a straight answer from them, "we dont like the way you conduct your bsuiness, we reserve the right"

hubby said what the hell have you been selling?

so roll on Januray time and I can have back my £312!!

xx x

Thats a bit strange ??? have you had any dis-satisfied customers?

What were you selling????? Lol

Back to the cacti, Sandra - WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh sorry Sandra I didn't mean to hyjack your blog. Lol

Ian and Mookins you were just getting to the interesting part..lol...
i have been in the cactus shed all day. apart from going into town to get some new pots for the two agave. i've spent most of the day picking off all the dead flowers. its amazing how many they had . it must have been awesome sight.

Hi Sandra, These really are beautiful and I didn't meen to take over but I seem to be becoming a bit of an Ebay expert lately. A member on here was telling me about a deal that went wrong and I managed to find the seller from a partial address and a list of items that she had bought.
Just call me P.I. Digs Lol

no worries Ian
well done u. my sister got ripped off over christmas . but she got her mony back. i've had no problems on there.

No, me neither, then again I only seem to buy stuff and not very expensive stuff at that Lol

Cricky Sandra! So many Cacti! Will you keep them all and display them as 'The Ashton Collection'?

So. Mookins. What were you selling? lol

I never get tired of looking at these, they're great ! ! !
