    Awesome photos bro!

    Thanks for putting them up. :)

    I was lucky enough to make the pilgrimage down there last week, just missed ya, but I was too overwhelmed to take many photos. Was hard to capture the majesticness of the place I felt.

    But you've done a top job!

    Thanks again, brings back some great memories! :)

    I'm almost certain they were Huarazensis x NI bridgesii. Was this a cross at the time or am I imagining the NI and bridgesii part? :(

    I received some some seeds labeled as huarazensis x N1 around that time, originally from nitrogen I believe, so I think you're on the money there mate. :)

    Should grow into a beautiful plant I'd imagine!

    You got any pics?

    edit: Here's a pic of mine. Only got one to germinate unfortunately...

    Berengar,

    I have one of these, about 10cm, that you can have if you like?

    Just pm me your address and I'll get it out to you as soon as I can. :)

    Edit: I suppose I should put a photo of mine up. They're only little fellas, got them from Bunnings as well at the start of the year...

    Hah, they had quite a few of them and while I was looking there was a young kid, about 6 years old, saying, "Mum, can I get a cactus?" "Ok son." She said and the little boy pointed to a browningia. "I want this one." He said. And I thought to myself, good choice lad. He's got the eye already.

    Well, I recieved a very special, unexpected delivery today! :)

    Intercontinental seeds from the very top shelf!

    I'm totally blown away with your generosity Nitro. Not only financially but also with your time. I couldn't imagine how long it took to clean all those seeds and post them out to everyone. I get overwhelmed when I've got two things to send out, let alone close to a hundred!

    Much respect to a top man. :worship:

    The world needs more people like you.

    Thank you kindly! :)

    Hello people.

    I did a little competition a few weeks ago to giveaway some seedlings.

    http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42198&page=1

    The winner was Mole but he informed me he already has enough cacti and generously asked me to donate the prize to a new member.

    So new members, who wants some cacti?

    I thought maybe you could write a few short words about something that makes you smile in the hope that it will make people reading it smile as well. Can be about anything and everything.

    Most post likes by next Monday is the winner.

    Thanks.

    :)

    Hey everyone,

    I want to giveaway a ten pack of some seedlings I've been growing.

    The pack contains six macro x scop, two roseii#1 x scop (both from interbeing) and two bridgesii x SS02 (from Amazonian). All of which are just over two years old.

    To make it interesting I thought I'd give them away to the person who could post the shittiest, lamest joke.

    I'll keep it open for two weeks from today and the winner will be decided by the post that has the most likes.

    Thanks guys!

    :)

    Thanks Olive! :)

    To be honest when I first got it, I was unaware of the recentness of this species of aztekium.

    I just thought it was a stunning looking plant.

    But now after doing some research I realise what I've done.

    I strongly object to the poaching of wild plants although I do agree though with what is said above, about not being able to stop poachers. I think the best way to combat them is for people who actually care about the plants to propergate them as much as possible and drive the value down.

    Well, that's how I justify it to myself anyway.

    But looking at my plant it is extremely possible that it was grafted as a seedling, albeit likely poached seeds, not an actual poached plant.

    With the other plants mentioned above, after how many years did it become acceptable to assume your plant isn't the result of poaching?

    And I do know a dude with another, whether or not they're the same clone is yet to be seen. I'll try to find out.

    Noooooo!

    Don't go man, you're one of my favourite people on here.

    But if you've made up your mind then that's that I suppose.

    Have fun bro, I'll miss ya!

    Yeah, so far so good!

    He's only tiny though so who knows what will happen.

    I'd love to degraft him to grow on his own roots but I've heard it's next to impossible so I shall just leave him be. I would never forgive myself if I killed him.
