Can anyone tell me what \link{http://photobucket.com/albums/v505/zephyrcat/plants/\these} two are? Ive had the big one for about 10 years and saved it when it was a little half dead brown stick! My mum reckons its an easter cactus as it flowers at easter - but its flowering now as you can see!!

The other one i've only just bought but i've lost the card!!

TIA :)

The one on the right i think is an umbrella plant. I have one too.

Christmas cactus I think. Although I think they're the same as easter ones.

Ooh - while there's knowledgeable helpful peeps about , can I highjack and ask if anyone knows the name of this plant: bright crimson pink summer flowers with furry silver gray leaves, I think it's a perennial? The various friends I know who've got it don't know what it is, and I can't find it in my gardening books. The leaves are really lovely and furry, shaped a bit like tulips leaves, and they're about a foot high, maybe less.

no idea!!! Sounds really nice though - do you have a pic?

Could it be Stachys (Lamb's Ears)? The leaves are quite thick, furry and look like (surprise, surprise) lamb's ears.

Thanks WWB - I think that's the one. Smile
It is gorgeous Onzephyrst, can't link the picture I've found but well worth hunting out.
