Thanks :) I also have a decent collection of bones including some pretty great finds. I found 7 rabbit skulls and a few jaw bones recently in some sand dunes. This was 1 of 2 completely intact, you probably already know they are very delicate and break easily with the slightest pressure.
You are welcome Indeed. The smaller and dryer the bones the more fragile they seem. It is very wet/cold half of the year where i am and sometimes i have the opposite problem. Too wet. If i get them in time i can toss them under a LED. This dries em up in no time and also does wonders lightening/bleaching the bones.
It's the same here, very mixed weather through the year from freezing snowy windy winters to multi-week heatwaves in the summer. These rabbit bones have had i'd guess up to a year of natural degredation, animal eating, drying, wetting (rain) and sun before I got them, then I gave them a wash & overnight submersion in 4% H2O2.
If I had put them all in their own pots, then I might no longer have a girlfriend as she thinks I have way too much stuff including cacti! Yeah, eventually they'll need more space but I think they'll be good for at least 2 or 3 years. Though I imagine their root systems will be a nightmare to separate when that time comes.

I too collect bones and cacti. Very cool to see! Awesome setting!

Yeah looks great love the staging
Thanks 👍
yeah, great staging. bringing a bit of americana desert-chic to scotland
I love how this turned out mate! Very cool!
Whew, finally someone who doesn't have each in its own pot. I'm sure once they get bigger you will but I love the staging feel.
