Long, old-growth sections of PC up for grabs too, if you could be bothered cutting them.

Looks like we're moving, after making ourselves right at home here in Smelbourne these past 10+ years. Lots of plants in pots that we won't have room for. My favourites are typically anonymous ones, NoID, but there's also Eileen, OzJuuls, TBM, Sausage, Psycho0, mixed seedlings grafts bulk logs etc. Tons of different succulents, medicinal aloes, sceletium, etc. Only some of these I would be able to post out as cuttings and/or rooted stumps/pups. Many are in large pots that would need a ute or trailer to relocate. Any interest at all and I'll upload some pics. Beehive and a greenhouse, potentially also up for grabs.

I saw a copy go here for under $50. Not too long ago. Caveat emptor.

^ I want whatever drugs they're on.

I have had tinnitus for 20 years. It came as a result of an ear infection that ruptured my eardrum. It fades in and out of awareness, but is always there. Sometimes it migrates, from my right ear where the damage occurred. It doesn't usually bother me much anymore, but it did for many years. For me, psychedelics often make the tinnitus louder, at least during a certain phase of the experience (most likely during onset). But I once had a nasty case of wood-lover's paralysis (from shrooms), which involved a very loud and painful tinnitus-like sound, i.e. inside my head. The only time the tinnitus completely disappeared was after a visit to the dentist, with anaesthesia. For a few hours after the procedure, the tinnitus was entirely absent. I don't have much hope of a psychedelic, or any cure. But one's attitude towards one's tinnitus can make all the difference, and I dare say that psychedelics could help with that.

Could be what is called a "decurrent" stem (as in A. decurrens) - "referring to wings or ribs running down stems from base of leaves" - or "where base of phyllode continues down stem as a raised line or ridge" - ? I'm not familiar with A. courtii growth habit, interested to hear what others think.

More's the reason to rehabilitate this humble forum. It'd be a shame to lose it.

I often just leave them to heal, they'll often start pupping from the damaged tip, which tends to look more natural than if they are cut with a knife. Depends on your aesthetic preferences. For fungal infections I usually wait and see - if the plant is healthy and there's enough biomass/energy in reserve, they can survive infection. You'd want to monitor it carefully, to see if it's spreading. Or you can cut them all nice and clean, that definitely sends a chemical trigger to produce new pups. Never seen a caterpillar that large near my cactus plants. Must be some huge mother moth. Never heard of golden maifan, sounds expensive.

Bite marks at the tips remind me of snail damage. Not sure about the black stuff, but probably related to humidity as well. I'd make sure they get plenty of sunlight and ventilation. Snail damage nothing fatal, it'll heal. But I'd keep an eye on that black stuff, it may need to be surgically removed (or not).

Handsome columnar variety with occasional melt, fast grower. Probably a Super Pedro/Scopulicola cross. That's what I was told it was, by the grower who supplied it (more than 10 years ago). It certainly resembles both of those varieties (larger spines than scop; smaller spines than cordobensis/super pedro). Whatever this is, it's yours for the taking. Only pay postage. 20cm and/or 30cm tip cuts with calloused heels. And/or I can do a mid cut, and/or a rooted stump. YMMV. Let me know, but be quick.

26cm cuts, thick and heavy. 3 cuts available. Classic peruvianoid originally shared by a grower named Skywalker. Prefer trade for other plant/goodies/stuff. Otherwise 50c/cm plus postage.

Going cheap. Some scarring, nothing fatal. 29, 36, 44cm. Prefer trade for other plant/goodies/useful stuff. Otherwise 30c/cm, plus postage.

Too expensive for plebs like me. But looks great. I've been meaning to get along to one of these since before the pandemic (when everything was more affordable). This year, I couldn't even afford the volunteer pass.
