Deck The Halls With Loads of Cacti
Lovely Christmas picture of Mike, the newest member of Day Of The Cacti, proudly holding his cactus in front of his Christmas Tree. Happy Christmas to all owners.
RIP Mick Mason
Day Of The Cacti is very sad to learn of the passing today of local traditional cobbler and all round top bloke Mick Mason. One of the biggest heartbeats of the little town of Chepstow, Mick always looked after my Jeffery West boots. He’d always tell me what a quality brand they are and that meant they’d cost a bit more to repair. Here he is with his cactus.

Cacti in California
Met Mike over a game of online chess. And this is where it led to: Thanks to Mike and Judy for this picture of their five Day Of The Cacti babies which made it across the Atlantic safely last month. Looking forward to seeing how they develop in that warm Californian sun.
Flowering Season
This is the time of the year in the UK when many of my Day Of The Cacti plants push out a beautiful pink flower or two or several even. The flowers last for one day only and then begin to wilt. But while they last, they are truly magnificent.

Cacti in Istanbul
Delighted to announce that three baby cacti arrived safe and sound to Istanbul for my wonderful friend, my brother Murat and his wife, Nevin. She made these gorgeous pots herself. Aren’t they magnificent!?
Repot for Rose
I was delighted today to be asked to repot Rose’s cactus and her three babies from 10/6/4. I have to say that not only is this the best conditioned cactus I’ve ever seen but Rose and her husband Vic are beautiful, lovely, warm human beings who are a joy to meet. To be connected to such fabulous people reminds and reinforces why I do this. And thank you Ceri for the introduction.
