First three rows of pictures include a repotting into a freshly made Dave Thomas pot, 20 March 2010. The pot
was made over the same drape mold, but allowed to overhang for nearly an inch in increased depth to
improve moisture retention for this thirsty plant in summer.

Then we have a shot of results of a natural outdoor bloom cycle in 2009, pot is an original Dave Thomas.

The remaining shots are a sequence of attempting to force early blooms for April 09, 2006 PVAC art show opening . . .
03 April: Ah well, 'fraid there are no flowers this year. Guess we should have known we couldn't
succeed on every try at forcing blooms. 09 April: Yes, yes, it was cheating, but we dealt with the situation! :-)
