Self-harming easter cactus
mmm, it self-harms - it is dropping osme of its branches! why does this happen? I don't think it's from too much water, or not even too much. this has never happened to my christmas cacti, what a mystery.

Orchids at M&S
M&S were doing another special, £12 single stem orchids reduced to a fiver. I went mad yet again and bought 5 more. I only noticed a year ago that M&S were selling orchids at such a cheap price. I'd never had an orchid before, as I was scared that they were too expensive and difficult to keep. I ended up buying three, and the flowers lasted for 3 - 5 months, which was lovely. One of these is now slowly growing flowers from a further node, so am very excited. The other two are resting.

Colombia Road Flower Market, London
I actually found out about this market randomly, from a friend. It is open on Sundays to the public, out near Shoreditch. They sell everything, from houseplants, cacti, potplants, to bedding plants. I think they are also open in winter, but not as many plants are for sale.
I love calla lillies
