In the south of UK, some will grow outdoors, but most live indoors and, 
if cared for with insight, thrive. But people do tend to water them, 
which is good for the export trade. I hope yours are cultivated, even 
urbane, not uncouth species from the wild that are on HM Customs Little 
List. I'm not an expert in cacti, but I used to know one. (;-)

Bizarre climate, maybe: more humid than in cactus country certainly, but 
with less extreme temperatures. Only 29.3 C here today.
