Fan Of… #45 — Flowering Cacti
Hi all 😁 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).
This week’s Fan Of… is flowering cacti. I’ve featured cacti before in the series, but I bought these two the other day and thought they were fully deserving of their own post.

Rimie Jennie Nettle — Things in Scots #6 and Flower of the Day Dec 06
Hi all 😁 and welcome to December’s project: Things in Scots. This month I am collaborating with my wife, Susan (☜ follow this link to see her post), and we’ll be posting daily — Things in Scots (great title eh? 😂).
Todays post is a 2fer, linking up with ☞ Cee’s Flower of the Day and keeping my series of frosty posts going.
Rimie jennie nettle (frosty stinging nettle); also known as a jaggie nettle or jobbie nettle.
All the Scots words for these posts are taken from The Concise English-Scots Dictionary, by the Scottish National Dictionary Association. The words chosen will be the generally accepted term, but as in all languages there are regional variations, as well as sub-species variations. For example, an owl is generally known as a hoolet in Scots, but an ool in Shetland & the NE. A barn owl is a white hoolet & a long eared owl, a hornnie hoolet.
As we do these posts, we’re learning as well; so we apologise in advance for any mistakes ☺️
If any of you out there have a burning desire to know the Scots word for anything 🤔, please let us know!
Hae a guid day 😁
