A couple of weeks ago, one or more people came into Snu Voogelbreinder's garden (in Victoria) during the night and stole various cactus, hacking them down and snapping / splitting them to soil level. Due to the time of year, cold, wet, slow growth, it is unknown if what is left of the plants will survive. Some of these plants had been acquired a fair while ago from the old Arizona nursery in NSW and also Gardenworld, and had been growing with Snu for quite some time, in his experience there were some unique individuals in the collection that he hadn't really seen elsewhere, and these are particularly the plants he would like to get back into his collection. If anyone knows anything about this, please get in touch with Snu via his garden of eden book site or myself and I will pass the information along. It would also be appreciated if anyone could keep an ear/eye out and pass the word around in your collecting circles. The general species were: Psycho0 (bridgesii(oid)), Super Pedro (Cordobensis/Spiny Scop), T. scopulicola (yellowing a bit, needs a feed), some other non-descript cuts, and 3 trich's in the following pictures, which were larger than what the old photos show (these are the main plants of value, but it's the first 2 plants he would mainly like to recover) plant 1 - (possibly a terscheckii??, it has rot damage on one side) plant 2 (not sure if this is yowie, or another similar but unique pachanoi) plant 3 (This one had the most bulk out of the stolen bunch, so the thieves have a fair bit of this compared to the others) Thanks very much, any direction is appreciated.
