Beautiful show! The Faucaria tigrina looks like it could be an underwater creature.

Same thing "happened" to me Pilif :-k -- so today a Euphorb. susannae, an "8-pak" of Lithops, & a Fauc. tigr. "somehow" got into one of my (several) cactus orders! Does that count as "following you home" from the store? :lol:

There's no 12 step programme for Cactaholics...so I shall just have to get some more!!

Aloe diolii (I think) - lost the tag in the garden, but plant did not like harsh coastal conditions, so replanted in pot.
