From memory, the trichos in that area were spiky Peruviana type plants, and any spineless trichos were probably brought in from elsewhere. The spineless clones really get around in South America as they are the more garden friendly types, often seen in the gardens and villages and towns. Their other traits could be anything at all. Cuttings end up miles away from thier original range and end up being cross pollinated by whatever's growing wild in their new area. All the spineless Matuc's I grew came out with spines. Nice plants but I figured they were all pretty much hybrids with who knows what. People selling seeds aren't very scientific IME.

What a beauty. Is it yours? Good to see you 'round again mate

I just open the song in youtube highlight the url address in the address bar, Right-click 'copy' Right-click 'paste' into a new reply It then automatically turns from a url address into a picture And lastly click 'submit reply'

brand new thang.

Hey mate, nice to have you on board. What sort of plants are you into? Got any cool pics to share? Hope you have a great time here and make heaps of awesome friends.

Hey mate, cheers. Unfortunately the next weekend I get off is Sunday 15th Jan, but I don't expect everyone to work around me though. I work a crazy 6 day cycle rather than the usual 7 day cycle, so my day off is different every week. Anyway, have fun

Don't you dare partake in it's euphoric glory one more time until you've propagated the crap out of it and shared it with the elders in this community. People live for this kinda opportunity, nay, honour! Picture yourself as Gollum and the ring. Wisdom, sacrifice, devotion. Good luck bro. If what you're saying is accurate, a huge responsibility rests on your shoulders. May the plant-gods shine their light upon your path and carry you safely on your journey

Bullshit! Show us the rest of it

Here's an old pic of a graft on to wild collected Opuntia tomentosa. The graft grew very nicely but you can already see the fungal spots appearing at the base of the pedro. I ended up tossing it, not worth it IMO. Just make sure your stock is clean, that's all I'm saying

I used to use those velvety tree pear (Opuntia tomentosa ) with great success, it was a mad stock, the only problem is that all the wild plants are infected with that shitty fungal disease that gets straight into your grafts and spreads from there. If you're thinking of using it think again, even if it looks like the nice fresh opuntia growth is disease free, trust me it aint. Ive even had another SABster confirm this with me after he used it. Never again!

There's a surprise in this one

I think there's vendors in Canberra who can legally sell you marjoram seeds...

I may not be able to come unfortunately, due to my new rotating shift giving me a different day off every week. I'll know closer to the day which day I have off.

Rats have chewed my cacti a few times, and I certainly wouldn't put it past a hungry brushtail either. Chin up, soldier on

That kinda suits me too actually

I'm keen, and it sounds like a good way to go. A meet on the sat 20 of August. Do we roll out from there, or are we just gonna decide on a future camp date?? I don't mind where we camp personally. See you at the meet

Interesting, I've found that 1/4 of the staff are drug/alcohol dependent no matter where Im working. Anyway, one step at a time, but make the legal prescription a top priority. Just tell the doctor that you tried a friend's oil and it was a life changing moment for your sleep and anxiety. You have to sell your case a bit, and make sure he realises it's medicinal all the way, and you're 100% serious, no funny business. Anyway acceptance of medicinal cannabis is getting better by the month, people can't discriminate against you over a legal medication. How dare they!

Nice poetry
