These would also be tax deductible cacti! If u get an organ receipt or even if u don't get one my accountant just takes my word for it.

I have 2 other staplelia vars I could add to the prizepool.

If anyone is interested I have a video of the Sydney walk. It's overly dramatised, it makes me look fat but it may be amusing to some of you. I can send you the link if you promise to forget my face after watching it.
