A little bit of TLC...


Whilst visiting someone recently I found this cactus plant languishing on a pile of cuttings . It was a rather sad looking specimen, pot bound and floppy, so feeling sorry for it I brought it back home, re-potted it and stood it in the back hall.
On return from our week away we were greeted with the glorious sight of a cactus in full flower. The colours are even more vibrant in the flesh. What had been a rather plain, bald plant, is now a riot of pink; the perfect antidote to the onset of autumn.
