Loved them dearly, but they were painful to repot!<br /><br />Had to give them up; they were donated to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Arid greenhouse. I've visited them a few times since.<br /><br />So pleasant seeing my old friends on your blog. Bless you for that pleasure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76454736626066066.post-19915501499352770822010-04-03T17:04:51.516-05:002010-04-03T17:04:51.516-05:00Succulents are very habit forming.

A totally reasonable policy given that I live in a basically windowless basement apartment, and that it's been raining so much in the summers I don't think they'd survive outside either. Nevertheless. I currently have six Ikea cacti purchased last year and still gamely alive, one year-old BBG purchase, two new BBG purchases, and seven (!!) new Home Depot cacti all purchased within the last two months. Imagine if I actually lifted the C/S ban...Emilynoreply@blogger.com
