I’m sorry, Frank, but I think that you may be a mutant. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – being of the red-haired persuasion myself, which is technically a mutated gene, I’m certainly not mutantist. I just can’t explain how bloody big you are any other way. Then again, I’ve never grown cacti before – maybe it’s that the other five are really, really small. I would have thought that plants that are a whole year old would be, well, bigger, than the five little cacti languishing around you, Frank, while you push ever skywards. Why, Frank, are you so much more ambitious than your sibling cacti seedlings? Why aren’t they spurred on by your example? You look like the kid who starts secondary school already two feet taller than all his classmates. I love you, Frank the cacti, but I can’t explain you.

Maybe Frank steals all the food and so the others cannot grow… so therefore he’s like the big fat cat who doesn’t let his skinny brothers and sisters eat…?

Naughty Frank! Except that I’ve only just repotted them all into the same pot – for the past year, they’ve each had separate little pots.
