Great grafting there Trichoshaman. I would be slightly worried about the scions splitting though as i predict the growth will be pretty extreme. Keep us updated !

LOL ! Reminds me of this crazy bugger ! http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/81273392/ Bit crazier than an opuntia though. ( real carnage ! )

http://gizmodo.com/5984476/meteorite-crashes-in-russia-panic-spreads Lets hope the calculations are correct and DA14 cruises on by without drama !

Ill be up and keeping an eye out for it Captain. The forecast for my neck of the woods possible thunder storms, so it may be too cloudy. Either way, pupils will be open wide and trained on the heavens ;)

Johnny cash's "hurt" very poignant considering this was the last song he recorded before his death.

I have been watching Ebay (au) quite closely and am seeing some stupidly ridiculous prices. Two lots of TEN, yes ten LW seeds of unknown heritage and viability being sold for in excess of $30 ! http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 and here : http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 The prices we pay here in Australia are so extravagant in general, let-alone these ridiculous blowouts i keep seeing on the Australian EBAY I have been watching Ebay.de ( which i believe is the European ebay ? )quite a bit.... and the plants going there are amazing. Here are a few from recent that have ended ( just scroll down for final prices ) http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 ( < a crested loph for under a hundred ) http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 and this 12yr old seed grown LW for under $50 http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 . ( EG I have to say I am very jealous ) Why are our cacti so expensive EDIT : ( does anyone know how to navigate through the japanese section of cacti on their domestic ebay ? ) (double edit) For some real amazing plants for some crazy prices ya have to check out catalogue 18 at uncle chorn's cabin ( there are 8 pages to flick through at the top ) I so want to become a cactus smuggling fiend

I would say that the majority of those bids ( if not all ) are self generated. You can't blame whomever for having a go though. There are a lot of suckers out there ! Just for example : a piece of grilled cheese on toast resembling virgin Mary selling for $28,000 ( link : http://www.oddee.com/item_97100.aspx ) You just never know

Asking price : 3600 british pounds for sale at cactus-art Are they for real ?

I want to start a SAB fund to relocate both you and all of your plants to the land of OZ EG ! Come on down !

PM'd in regards to #2 Cant really afford it and have other cuts I am purchasing but can't let this pass up

I totally forgot about this until just then Did anyone go ?

trichocerous only flower briefly once a year, now this might be a silly question but is there such a thing as trichocereus honey ?

I will get one up for you over the next day or two Bogfrog.

Well, the pup the crest was throwing turned out to be a clone "a" TBM ( non crested ) which I have removed and has now rooted and growing on It's own. The crested section has tripled in size. It has new growth coming from everywhere. I was actually thinking of putting it up for sale.... still undecided as yet. But she is a beauty Kykeion ( and the only one on our shores to my knowledge )

so if they had have proved you conspired knowingly to thwart the laws by importing a plant ( or number of plants ) on the banned import list Moses, the outcome may have been quite different ? I suppose you were lucky because the data on your laptop confirmed this. What if there is no laptop to search and no plants present at the time of the raid ? would they really come down that hard on someone whom has never even received a warning before ? what are the possible consequences for this ? ( because I am unsure myself ) Do you have any input here T ? Or someone better versed in customs/quarantine laws ?

if they have proof via paypal and invoices from said seized items, then a verbal denial from your friend would perhaps imply a deliberate attempt to circumvent customs and quarantine. Dont want to stress him out or anything and if I am wrong someone please correct me. I think there is more to come with this story Myco

if your friend has numerous items seized items from OS ( particularly if one was a loph ) ( IF - that is ) ( remember if they do come and find the particular plants alledgedly sent from OS - it's a different situation alltogether ) I would not take what this guy says at face value and would be expecting a knock on the door any time... I have heard of it happening for much much less. I dont want to mention names, but i am talking active members. ( hopefully they can drop a line or two here with their experiences ) If i was him i would be moving everything to a safe location and stashing my pc !! better to be safe than sorry man...

happy birthday EG, thanks for all the help, kind words and dedication to this forum man. Your a good fella !
