Just received these three beauties. The pictures below are from the seller.

All the way from California to Indiana, arriving in great shape. I'll get some pictures of how they look now...in the next few days.

Nice well grown plants. Some here say to re-pot with a more gritty mix but I have has success growing in almost all soils. Must watch the watering until the hot summer comes. Keep from direct sun. Bright shade is best or morning or late afternoon sun.

Your title sounds like something from si-fi B5.

Stush I agree with you about the mix. It is much too hot here for me to grow in a gritty mix. Really they grow in whatever I throw them in...except hahnii.

Stush: It's actually the work description of Captain Peacock from the BBC show "Are You Being Served?" (1972-1985)

And thanks for the growing tips!
