To mark my rapidly approaching 3000th post and ascension to SAB's hall of fame. I've decided to do a giveaway and an introduction...
This is 'St Paul'. A beautiful chunky blue, seed-grown Peru with that lovely neat 'Torch' growth habit that some trichos are famed for.
The back story is that I was driving along in rural Queensland and I saw the owner, Paul, had started chopping a couple of his cactus down as they were about to hit his powerline. I was able to save a couple trailer loads of cacti that day, including the best one (St Paul) in it's entirety! It is one of the nicest peru's I've ever seen, based on the deep blue of some of the cuts and the tight torch growth habit. I literally pulled some cuts out of his wheelie bin, and gave him all I had in my wallet (which wasn't particularly much). In the end I thought the guy was such a legend I just had to name it in his honour, Cheers Paul, you are a true SAINT!
I will have a couple for sale in the near future ( I have already traded a couple) but for now I plan to give away a nice tip each to the 2 winners of the comp (sharing is caring)
So did you like my (real life) cactus tale? Because for this comp, entrants must tell us their best cactus-related stories, tales, memories, events, legends, dreams, travels poems, or hell, just why they love cacti in general. Make it funny, sad, epic, silly, fan fiction or just downright interesting, I don't mind, lets just enjoy sharing in our best cactus tales and enjoy this as a tribute to the common hobby that we share.
Enter as many times as you like, but only one tale per entry, and they don't accumulate etc.
I plan to pick my favourite tale as the first winner, and the second winner will be decided by the most number of likes that tale gets, so get involved and get voting. Winners will be picked Saturday night the 9th June.
Have fun
