And the story...I like the shape of this little guy!<br />And the story that goes with it makes me smile: I just bough a kalankoe this afternoon, and I dare not put it outside in full sun, because I fear sun damages, and I was considering an umbrella... and wondering if I was still sane :-) Apparently yes.<br />For the moment, it is inside, close to the window, I'll see if I can work something out.verobirdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968111905760607177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-88575155293034003372010-08-04T23:02:47.398-07:002010-08-04T23:02:47.398-07:00What a gorgeous Mammi!

But you and I know that all succulents are not created equal. Great job and I hope it blooms soon.Candice Suter.....Sweetstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439964856042558664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-28747634420883990472010-08-04T21:24:16.181-07:002010-08-04T21:24:16.181-07:00Julie,

I do sort of drape it so that the northern exposure is a bit open, then hold the whole thing down with stones. The cloth is stiff enough so that there's plenty of space between most of the cactus and the cloth. <br />AiyanaAiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-86222281445170425802010-08-04T19:52:11.682-07:002010-08-04T19:52:11.682-07:00BTW, this thing has some killer spines!!!

I suppose in my case I could just throw it over my cages (tomato cages)...<br /><br />Hope this pretty cactus will bloom for you soon (one of these years)!!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402220963886597754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-25565598273815325102010-08-04T09:26:44.830-07:002010-08-04T09:26:44.830-07:00I love this cactus....it has an irregular form.
