Still kickin’ on…

“Still Kickin’ was given to me when I was pregnant with my oldest—- sorry, only baby, who is now 6 months old. I left it at a friend’s place & it has suffered a lot – but there’s one beautiful pink & green leaf, very new & shiny, still going!”

David’s

“This plant is the last surviving plant from my mother. She died 6 years ago & all the others have died. She had a spikey but beautiful character, much like a cactus.”

David, Newtown

“A twig of a tree

Monkey do, monkey

Thorny tales

“This plant was given to me as a gift during a Polish christmas celebration. It propagates very easily, you just break a branch off and stick it in the ground, and that’s how I received it. My friend has given away many of these plants, and I have continued to break off parts and give them them away also. This one plant is spreading far and wide.”
