No no no, I will be posting more pictures, $2 a plant. I'm just having these splitting headaches. I already have a dozen of these and many are flowering.

They are so beautiful, one has been in bloom for 8 months.
When I moved here, the squirrels walked all over them and knocked leaves off, not only did every leaf start a new plant where it fell, but everywhere they knocked off a leaf, a new plant grew, that I now need to remove and pot.
The colors, the shapes, the flowers. OMG! And you can't kill them, don't water them, no problem.

Neat Spiral "Cactus".
That picture reminds me of the movie "Body Snatchers". Better watch out.
