It's your birthday and you are giving presents! What a champ :-) cheers!

HB PH, cheers for all ur help mate and best wishes for your day of birth :-)

Locked in to record just in case I fall asleep lol cheers :-)

Some of my first attempts, pretty happy with success rate. :-)

This is established at the house I'm in,, the flowers are amazing! I have a few seed to give away, but would love to know what it is :-) thanks :-)

Congrats bud, great oppurtunity! Hopefully start seeing some worthy cactus being supplied all over Australia ;-) awesome! Best of luck to you and your family :-)

Disability support can be a great option! It has been possibly the best job I've ever had :-) I have grown heaps within myself and I think it helps weed out the able bodied bullshitters also lol you know, the ones who complain they have nothing to do or can't do it,,, bullshit! I could go on but if you have patience I'd recommend looking into the disabled support sector.

I've been driving around with buckets etc in my car collecting from piles of different sized gravel, blue metal stone, pebbles etc road work sites are good, big piles of different grades of stone ;-) then I make up my mix's for what I need, only small amounts of potting mix I've been using lately.

Welcome to the gardens, and lovely lophs for sure :-) cheers!

They are authorised to treat then send plants into WA, they also suggest to send a list of what ur interested in, and then they'll check if it's allowed into the relevant state. WA has quite a few restricted plants, so just make sure if ur gonna do it legit, get their opinion first :-)

She's a beauty :-)

Thanks for the heads up mutant,, I did some looking on the net and I believe ur right :-) it was sold to me as a cristate, I may have to let the seller know ;-) cheers

I welcomed these sexy beasts into my life :-)

Ahem,,, ;-) :-)

One thing I've cone to learn about it is that some aboriginal work is topographic, and maps out water holes, food sources etc

Flowers are small, it was hard to get in focus,, Euphorbia flanaganii edit: not cristate Not sure what this one is, a pair of eyes on a Muppet lol,, love it tho :-)

I've had this a cupl months now,, in the last week the yellowing of the stock has occured so I repotted into a course gravel/pebble minus soil mix as the previous mix stayed wet too long. The stock is still nice and green just under the scion but should I remove it completely and regraft the buttons or could the good part of the stock be cut and re-rooted without removing the scion? Thanks for any feedback.

Ok, I'm gonna do some grafts tomorrow arvo and will have to get some on their own roots. Not enough grafting stock atm :/ I actually did an upside down graft the other day with one of the pups I took off the other graft I have. thanks for all your help, made my decision alot easier :-)

So this is what I've come to. My next question is what to do with the main scion with pere attached, slice the base off scion and re-graft onto Trich or?

Good enough reasons to remove it then,, cheers bud :-)

Thanks myco,, ive watered it twice in the time I've had it but the soil I put it in didn't drain and dry quick enough. I'll remove it after work and separate the buttons for re-grafting and hopefully grow some on own roots. Any idea the life span of pere when grafted onto? Or is it variable with differing conditions?

Happy birthday mate :-) ur wife seems pretty switched on, that looks like a cool place to visit. Cheers!

Those last 2 pics with their clean unmarked caps,,, sooo beautiful :-)

She's very popular! I was outbid in the last second on that one,,,
