Just want to comment on what an AWESOME set up you have! You may have to tailor your plant purchases to your light levels but I can already tell you Haworthia is a perfect plant for your light levels. You may notice in some of your other plants an elongation between leaf nodes (etoliation) that shows your plants are not receiving enough light. Love your set up, but I can tell you that pix 5,7,9,10, 11 all show signs of light deprevation. Since this is the slow grow season for cactus, they have not disfigured yet to tell you 'Not Enough Light'. Haworthias, most epiphyllums, all 'holiday' cactus, and many others I can't think of right now would absolutely LOVE your light levels. Part of being a 'plant person' is suiting your situation to growth patterns of plants. I've had to completely change what I grew at least twice now. Takes time, trial and error, and willingness to jump off and sink or swim. You've got a brilliant start. I see much success in your future! Stick with Haworthias and similar light level needs, Ceropegia, many, many Stapeliads, most epiphyllums, orchids, hoyas, the list goes on and on and on. (Did someone warn you not to get hooked up with 'those plant freaks'!!!?)

I too am beginning to wonder if what Jujujojo saw was an Epiphyllum, the size of the blooms certainly sounds like it? Cyber, you didn't misunderstood...I'm guessing he didn't make it on Black friday or they never got more in? Shame, I really wanted to see them also... Julianna, what is Queens? So many plants I'm not familiar with. Thanks! Juju, the website below...is this similar to ones you saw at Walmart? Here is a link that might be useful: This post was edited by puglvr1 on Thu, Dec 5, 13 at 16:20

Denise, It's a lot easier if you have the right outlook on the kittens, they are livestock, they usually bring in money to the farm, so we can't afford to get attached. I used to have blue cats (as a matter of fact our first blue we got when we moved back to CA was Purrum's great-grandmother) which the kittens helped pay for the feed of the other animals. I tend to think of my cats as I do all my animals, they don't get names unless they are breeders, then they are lavished with attention. This doesn't keep the kids from naming them though. This is going to be our last litter, hopefully we can get Purrum spayed once she has weaned her kittens. Since we lost our blues, we don't sell our kittens anymore but offer them to anyone who wants them. The pet store will take them but offers nothing but the reassurance they won't go to the pound. I was looking at the kittens today, one looks like a previous kitten we had my kids named Troll so he is now known as "Troll jr." another looks like Purrum's mama who was poisoned when Purrum was 3 weeks old, Chantilly, so she will be Tilly. Two down, two to go, it looks like either three females and one male or two/two, one is questionable at this age. PS Your girls are adorable.
