F*ck me sideways with a branch of that one!!! Wow!! Passive, do you know if the owner wants someone to come give her a bit of manicuring? I'm sure I could organise some trimming :P Then again, how could anyone massacre that?!?!

The owner said the plant is roughly 20 - 25 years old and is another pedro that rarely gets watered. They were suprised when i told them that i water my cactus often.

I would say it is easy above 6 mtrs, prolly closer to 7. It was severly dehydrated, i guess from producing the amount of flowers that it has. Im just dissapointed i didnt get a pic of her in full bloom. :(

The cutting was sourced from somewhere near mildura apparently.

Looks like im off for a drive to the mildura region lol.

Yeah that's a shame, it's an insane amount of flowers. It would have been amazing to see and also would have made a great photo. Only one day too early by the looks of things as well!

I got my last big flush over 2 nights on the weekend also, just a few stragglers left.
