Imagine that was quite a fiddle to make HB. You have more patience than me! Looks great!

Hi Sheila, you have more patience than me too, but it looks very nice, not something I would have thought of in a million years, Derek.

That is lovely very artistic, and will give the plants a micro climate. You could pay pounds for that in a shop, it looks great

I was wondering how you got them in without getting prickled to bits Hb , what a good idea it looks great !

Nice. The one the left looks to be a hardy Opuntia. If it outgrows the indoors..it could adapt to the great outdoors!
The tall middle might be a Pilocereus..the Brazilian blue cacti. Tender,great pot plants though. And the barrel looks to be a Mammilaria sp. cacti..they clump and can live forever in a pot.
My best guesses.

great idea, lovely display. I gave up cacti when my vision started to go and the plants bit back more than usual! the book said to use a collar of cardboard to wrap round the plants, but tongs sound a lot easier, and you can get at them from all angles.

I'll have to try that - wonder if it works bilatereally? I mean, headache on right, pinch right hand? and how long would one have to pinch for? *s* maybe a clothes peg would do the trick, at least it wouldn't tie up both hands
