The annual Cactus and Succulent Show
The annual Maltese cactus and succulent show was a huge success. Twelve members participated in the show which hosted several different cacti and succulents from several Genera. The pictures speak for themselves. Well done!
The cactus show lasted for three days. On Friday 24th October the show was open to members only while on the next two days it was open to the general public.
