I did wonder about that Ernie! I think the fact that I kept it in a fairly small pot for the first 3-4 years means it's smaller than it could be. I'm 32, so may see it at a reasonable size later in my life... :D

Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

Zapotitlan de Salinas, Tehuacan, Mexico Ernie. Pretty much the same area of Mexico that Chris mentions.

That's an amazing plant the bigger ones look like a dead tree with grass growing out it it.
