Psyentist Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Hello people.I did a little competition a few weeks ago to giveaway some seedlings.http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42198&page=1The winner was Mole but he informed me he already has enough cacti and generously asked me to donate the prize to a new member.So new members, who wants some cacti?I thought maybe you could write a few short words about something that makes you smile in the hope that it will make people reading it smile as well. Can be about anything and everything.Most post likes by next Monday is the winner.Thanks. Edited November 2, 2015 by Psyentist 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godiam Posted November 2, 2015 As a Xerophobe, every time I get another Cacti, I cannot stop smiling, At 53 years of age I never thought I would fall in Love with a Plant, but it starts as a kind of Longing, then moves on to a Fever, (must get more Cacti), Then You start dreaming about Cacti, and You wake up one day, and realize thatYou have a Full Blown Addiction. Well, I'm sure there are worse ways to spend Your Money! Cheers Godiam. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BassCompound Posted November 2, 2015 All my Cacti want hugs but they are too spiny for hugs. They're my spiky antisocial friends. I've started wearing a pendant on my neck with a tiny jar on it. I half filled it with soil, threw a few seeds in so when I'm walking around I am constantly germinating. Will replace when they get crowded 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

highdesertcacti Posted November 2, 2015 ....that moment the mail truck pulls up and the mail guy pulls out a big cardboard box, and you know its full of new friends for the garden! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happyconcacti Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) This forum makes me smile. Every time I login I'm reminded that there are so many other cactus freaks out in the world. It's a good feeling to know that I'm not the only one with this passion. Anything and everything to do with cacti makes me happy. I'm in the USA, that's totally cool if it disqualifies me.
