Well I dunno ...if Bruce shots keep making it into the thread like that last one, we are gonna need some sort of "eyegasm" emoticon or something

[jasemateau]

apoth is on the money for the emotion, hav'nt seen a such a beauty of tricho for some time.

IMe girls love porn too

im sure id like porn less too if all the leads were schlappas

We are not discussing pornography. Just an ejaculating emoticon.

Just the description of the emoticon is disgusting, now imagine what it would look like! (shudder)

But, we are very off-topic now aren't we?

So, anyways, Yeah that is a great cactus!

[Flip]

You're absolutely correct!

We mustn't be sexist.

We need a dildo come shot for the ladies too.

preferably one with large breasts that giggle -so that it's clear

it's a "she" and not any type of Blue Light homo-anal-chemo-erotica postings.

It should also be a real orgasm emoticon and not one of those fake ones

that I keep hearing about on other boards...

Oh and BTW... that's a nice cacti!

[FlameMan]

That's really nice man. REALLY NICE~!

Well it's more than ten years on since the last post. I'd love to see a pic of Bruce now   

[Micromegas]

I found the bruce mother plant in 2008. I did not know at the time it had already been found, but blackdragon pointed that out to me.

 

The first pic in this thread shows Bruce in 2008, considerably larger than 2005, and if you scroll down you can see that is HUGE compared to 2005.

I had the chance to revisit Bruce in January of this year, for the first time in almost 10 years. The poor fella was hacked to pieces, it was a shock. I won't speculate to the cause, it might simply be neglect, as cactus can deteriorate over time. There was a lot of fallen debris and snapped limbs, stumps on stumps on stumps, and in total was smaller than the original 2005 photo in this thread.

 

Note that whatever I have called by some other name in my thread, the two other impressive trichos turned out to be already named as 'sausage plant' and 'Goliath'.

 

Long story short a picture now would not do justice to Bruce. My 2008 photo shows his full splendor.

[Halcyon Daze]

Oh well, he's doing his job then, populating random collections and gardens everywhere, probably even made it out of the country by now. I know I personally planted a cut on a remote island of Tassie. 

 

If he is shaped and pruned properly he will come back thicker and stronger than ever,  but that's unlikely to be achieved now that he's the 'town bike'. Prolly got all kinds of hobos sneaking in and hacking away chunks for the cauldrin. 

 

 

Same for the others.  I have a nice Goliath that I've traded pieces of, and that sausage plant is everywhere.

 

I still think updated pics would be good from an educational perspective. 

 

Thanks for the info, micro

For the record I am not nearly convinced Bruce's current condition is due to over-cutting by cactus collectors, who would be unlikely to leave high quality pieces (that appear to have been snapped, not cut) to lie and rot on the ground. The garden overall is run down and I think this is more likely to be the cause. I have seen many cactus plants fall into disrepair. One time I found a spachianus the owner had been using for what appeared to be sword-fighting practice, he told me I could take the whole thing and demonstrated his machete-wielding abilities.

 

But yes, Bruce is certainly out there far and wide, my original bruces and goliaths are now 10yrs old.
