GOLDEN daffodils will be blooming along the entrances to Whalley in the spring — thanks to the efforts of volunteers who have been planting bulbs on behalf of the parish council. On Sunday, Whalley Lions were in action along Accrington Road and at
Spring Wood. The bulbs were part of a large consignment offered to the parish council from the Ribble Valley Council and other volunteers are expected to help with the planting. Our picture shows six Lions in action at Spring Wood. From the left are

New home for too-tall cactus
THE prickly problem involving a West Bradford cactus has been solved, thanks to “Clitheroe Adver tiser and Times” readers. Our story last week highlighting
the monster cactus which won’t stop growing has had a happy ending. Owner Mrs Susan Hanson, of Hillside Drive, described how the 10ft. cactus grew too tall for her conservatory and called for a caring garden enthu siast with a lot of room to give it a new home. Soon after, a reader from Wilpshirc got in touch, offering the cactus a
home as a feature of her open-plan slairwelL “The lady was delighted when she
saw it and carefully wrapped it in blankets before taking it away. 1 believe it has gone to a very good home,” said Mrs Hanson. It is just as well, because another
reader wrote to explain that this spe cies of cactus can grow up to 60ft. It is believed to be a column cactus of the genus Cereus. The beautiful flower of the Giant Cereus has been adopted as a state symbol of Ari zona in the United States.
