My friend M gave me a Christmas cactus last week. A lovely, inoffensive plant. Propagated from a cutting, one of many judging by the number of cactuses spread around M's living rooom. The mother plant has a bit of a history. M bought it in 1975 from a plant stand outside Waterloo Station. The stand holder was one of the train robbers, on a fresh start after his served prison sentence. Who would have thought. Merry Christmas!
