Cactus miscellaneous

Here are some miscellaneous pics of succulent plants snapped in Michel Steggmans' glasshouse (in Libercourt, France)




My new garden of cactus

How lucky am I !
A friend of mine owns a lovely house with a large garden. Unfortunately, he hates gardening and has no passion in mowing the minor parcel of lawn. So I was more than enthusiastic when he offered me to have a parcel of his garden to grow any kind of cactus I would feel like ! Although the spinier the better to repulse cats from peeing in his garden. Of course it wasn't easy to clean the overgrown and get rid of weeds. However I finally managed to do so :


Flower Market in Lille

Since I've been living in Lille (For three years now) I am always looking forward to two main events organised in the city ! The first one takes place the last week end of April, and is the flower market, and the second one, which is much more famous is the huge flea market well-known in Flanders and other places of Europe ("Braderie" in French), which takes place the first week-end of September. So as you've probably guessed, the first one recently ended, and as usual some more cactus have found a new home on my balcony.

Here is an overview of my spiny ones !
