I thought i would show you some photos i took when we went to Tatton Park RHS show last summer….

I am sure we all know a gentleman who likes these.. eh Hywel

as we got outside my batteries died on me & i had no spares, i thought OH had them ..he thought i had them…

can you imagine walking round a flower show for a few hours with no camera.. it will never happen again.:o(

Nice to be called a gentleman - thank you :o)
But I must tell you I don't like cacti, I "love" them lol.
Thanks for showing your photos. Pitty about the batteries though.
The first photo reminded me I have a pitcher plant. Well I did have one but I can't find it :o(

Thank you Paul,yes they are weird i agree..:o)
Cheers Alex & Martin.:o)
Hywel i have a few cacti..i keep buying them from a second hand shop near me..i feel sorry for them & bring them home lol, maybe when you start to sort your garden out you will find your pitcher plant.:o)

14 Feb, 2011

 

I hope so too. Things seem to go invisible sometimes lol
I wish we had a shop selling cacti around here.

14 Feb, 2011

 

it is a second hand furniture..everything..charity shop,every so often someone must donate the young cacti plants , i think it must be the same person as they are always tiny plants repotted & i cant resist them for about 50p each..:o)

15 Feb, 2011

 

:o) I wouldn't be able to resist either .
