        That would be great. What an amazing garden. As you said, different to what we do here, but with a beauty and harmony all of its own. Fascinating.

            8!!! You luckily thing. I'm slowly working through a few. Machu picchu is still no.1 on my list of favourites-nothing seems to beat it!

            Those gardens are lovely-like the ones i saw yesterday on Monty dons world gardens prog. Beautiful.

                Your correct in that it certainly has a beauty and harmony of its own but, close-up, it doesn't look so brilliant. There are only two varieties of plant and both look more like weeds that you would pull out of your garden. There are lots of gaps between the plants but they're not noticeable en masse. It was still fascinating to see. :blue thumb:

                  Superb garden Shiney :)

                  Checked some of my plants and agapanthus Golden Drop......delightfully variegated .....looks a little sorry for itself......back up to 7 degrees already and sunny so hoping, fingers crossed, it will survive the cold spell. Hmmmmm! :sad:

                    Spent the morning repotting my cacti and common as muck aloe vera (:heehee:).

                    IMG_4548.JPG

                    Pleased with how it looks now. Got to say I don't ever want to re-pot cacti again!! What a bloomin nightmare. Had to hoover some of the compost out the spikes and they were a nightmare to plant into the grit mixture and keep in place.

                      You'm wanna try repotting a prickly pear Snork :yikes:

                      Baloo the bear was right, you need a knife blade to scrape the prickles out of your fingers :hate-shocked:

                        I'll definitely leave that to you @Zigs ! Bloomin nightmare!i had thick rubbery gloves on and still got spiked through them. And the soil granules all caught in the fluff. Even the dyson handheld couldnt get it out! Lol

                            Maybe you could use tongs to hold the plant next time they need re-potting? They do look lovely though so your pains have been rewarded :thumbsup:
