These aren't really my cup of tea but then I never dreamed that I'd have any of the grafted cactus mutants (you know, the fluorescent cactus sports that have no chlorophyll are kept alive by grafting.) but three somehow showed up in my greenhouse and the colors are kind of cheerful during the winter months. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-79293647627917935322016-01-28T23:07:26.937-08:002016-01-28T23:07:26.937-08:00There's a plant for everyone, isn't there?...There's a plant for everyone, isn't there?outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-53466923500218941282016-01-28T23:06:52.938-08:002016-01-28T23:06:52.938-08:00I agree with you!I agree with you!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-46631958665851911542016-01-28T23:06:16.935-08:002016-01-28T23:06:16.935-08:00The website I found said that they should be re po...The website I found said that they should be re potted if they're surrounded by the glued gravel mat but if it's still alive a year later, maybe that's not necessary.

Now I have an urge to watch that movie again. I haven't seen that in years. I'm not a fan of grafted plants in general, because I don't like having to worry about the root stock sending up water sprouts and taking over. Grafted succuelents are even worse. I just find them too jarring, visually. It's like some glued-together plastic souvenir statue.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-40585690066042407642016-01-28T21:02:15.195-08:002016-01-28T21:02:15.195-08:00I love that movie and thinking of your creation ma...I love that movie and thinking of your creation makes me smile! outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-87465613606375662352016-01-28T20:54:05.218-08:002016-01-28T20:54:05.218-08:00Not my thing, but bully for those who like them.

At the same time we were prototyping some baby doll type toys, and I was able to put a Martian head onto the baby doll plush body. It sat upon my computer monitor until the day I left, and I still have the creepy, cool, hilarious thing.
