Yes, but there is a shortage this year and the ones I ordered were the best they could get and very small. However, I would not rest unless I had them.. ;D

I'm told poinsettias, even white ones are unfriendly towards cats - china ones should be ok !

Anything that would get cats out of my new garden would be worth a try, I've tried orange peel, kebab sticks, sharp grit everything, if anyone's gor any ideas I'd be glad to hear (in a new thread of course!!  sorry Scunner, but its a subject close to my hear at the moment.)

You can get a bottle with gel in it that deters cats.  We got one to get rid of a stray that was getting into our flower patch and it worked. Also they hate pepper.
 We have had cats for years and also poinsettias, but our cats have no interest in them.
Also Scorcher, not China, perish the thought.  Old Scottish Pottery circa 1900.
