So its been about a year since I started networking with other cacti growers, and am glad i did. I have met some incredible folks, and learned a TON of stuff. One of the most interesting dynamics of the networking tho, is meeting the ozzies!

...so 5 things I have learned in no particular order from observation:

#1 Like humans, every new seedling can have a name! From Alko to Zeus, and Yowie to Bruce, these things got identity!

#2 It is ok to occasionally give seeds and plants away to fellow growers and even to noobies. The generosity of the Australian growing community as a whole is refreshing.

#3 its ok for men to be emotional... as long as its about cactus! There was one point back at the beginning of the year, that I was press ganged into 4 or 5 different Australian FB tricho groups. Its cool though. I dont pick sides, I just like looking at the pictures!

#4 The words, 'cheers', 'mate', and 'legend' have a lot of use potential. Plus theyre fun to say! Go ahead, say it out loud... see??

#5 EVERYONE can care about cactus, even the politicians. Hey, I'd vote for this guy...attachicon.gifmayor.jpg

Thanks for being such legends, all of you! Cheers mate!

That guy is the current mayor of Geelong ( home of the "cats" afl club), looks like hes inspecting an act of cactus vandalism at the royal Melbourne botanic gardens that happened a couple of years ago.
