What beautiful cacti you have. I really want to go to the bedroom near the laptop, I heard they absorb bad energy

Glad you like them :)

I don't think there is physically such a thing as bad energy, let alone anything to absorb it :)

Great plants and pics Zigs.

Some years ago. I collect a good variety of cacti & succulents. I decided to replicate a kind of desert scene on the GH Staging. One night. I noticed somethin tall and white in the GH by the light of the moon. B***** cat I cried. Puffed out I entered the GH. The white was actually the flower of a cactus. It had sprouted up with a matter of a couple of hours. I rushed back indoors, grabbed the camera and got a snap. Next morning, all proud and boastful. I took Valerie with me to see this beauty. It had gone. Nowt was left but the basic plant and this sad dried up resemberlence of a once, most beatiful flower.

Another time. I had some cacti on s shelf. Suddenly one fell down. YES! I caught it. YES! again. Like a slice of toast, it landed jam side down.....prickles down. OUCH!
