The class cacti are moving home. They have all flowered in unison. Flushes of pink, white and red and made the classroom look a little pretty. Have all gone a bit funny coloured but it www lovely to see the ugly creatures display resplendent with flowery plumes.

One thing that I have noticed is that the plants have actually changed colour. Gone from a shade of green to red, and look a bit wrinkly. My guess is that they need a feed and some water.

I’m proud of these creatures. Many of them were only 25-99pence when they were rescued last year. Last year they flowered in stages. This time it was all synchronised.

Sadly, there will be no classroom experimentation for a while. I will have to claim some other window sills!
