Good evening Aiko,

something at the aluminum construction was broken. Spare parts are no longer available.
But most importantly, the insulation was very bad.
So I bought a new house.
Because of my eye disease at the end of September, I could not build it yet. . .

Best wishes and hope to meet You at ELK 2017,

K.W.

Kitty! Have you ever found your cat with a face full of spines or does it pretty much steer clear of the cacti?

The other side of the river Rhine, Deutz.

There, the Jewish Cologne were interned and transported to their assassination. . .

What is the mamm with golden spines in the second picture?
There is no cactus you can't eat, but you just might regret it if you eat the wrong one.

Good evening dear cacti friends,

if I did not cultivate cacti, what would I care for?



Maybe Crassula. . .
