It’s unusually dry and warm at the moment, but not consecutively warm enough to give my collection it’s first drink. Until then I’ll keep misting them in the evenings of the sunniest days. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to bother this #cleistocactusstrausii. #belgiumhardgrown #cactus
Cleistocactus strausii or silver torch cacti in Strasse Park in Santa Cruz, which resemble Hattifatteners from Moomin books written by Tove Jansson.
Correction! I thought I was in Santa Cruz today in Tenerife. It appears I'm actually with the Hattifatteners in #MoominValley #Moomin #SilverTorchCacti #CleistocactusStrausii
