The answer is . . .

 

The answer is . . .

. . . very small plant pots! 



They’re intended for succulents, but I thought a cactus in each one would look good.  





I think they may soon need to be repotted, though.


My husband guessed they were egg cups and I suppose they could be.

  6. Hi there...just come over from Debby as she thought we might have the same grandson!!
    Love your little plantpots. I have quite a large collection of succulents ( not to mention many other houseplants!) though I don't have anything with spikes!
    I am in Hertfordshire so not so far from you......will put you on my blog list and look forward to getting to know you a little. A few of my regular " friends" have dropped off recently and I need more to read during breakfast!

    1. There wasn't much to go on, really, but I thought the bamboo stands might have given them away:-)

    1. The cress idea is growing on me. I used to love egg and cress sandwiches, but now they'd have to be just cress!

  15. Oh my goodness, they are so cute!! Looks like something I would buy. How fast do cacti grow, anyway? I thought they were slow but that might just be my black thumb :)

    1. They are quite slow-growing so perhaps they can stay in their little pots a little longer :-)
