A group of Cacti in the greenhouse.

When this picture is enlarged, they are quite fascinating in their variety - even their pots are interesting.

Cactus with ring of flowers on top,

and a small cactus two inches tall with a group of three bright flowers - and more to come.

“It is Mid-Spring near my front door.”

This classical planter may be near the house, but I guess the romantic Maples aren’t very far away.

^ It was about 35 years ago I bought that beauty from Jim Bradley’s Mid-Ulster Garden Centre. v Lovely new foliage on another cut-leaved Japanese Maple.

The shady side of the same Maple above seems to be sheltering a safe community of refugee Cyclamen.
