spooge Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Hello wonderful people'sToday the account Olive has reached 300 positive trade ratings, this averages roughly to 1 documented trade every three days over the last two years.Exact figures are not known however I'd hazard a guess that it's prob double that if we also include the unreported positive trades also.Takes a special kind of effort to attain this little milestone of which we are very proud of.Trichocereus are an amazing genus that has captured this loopers heart , at oliveton we have gone to great lengths to build a very large collection which I imagine in the future to be a valuable resource, and not just an income source but a trichocereus cactarium where some of this countries best examples and 'blood lines' are free to flourish.So to celebrate our head swell we will be giving away a very nice box of trichocereus cuts and seedlings to a member on this, the worlds greatest ethnobotanical forum.To qualify for this giveaway you must have traded with Olive or Pimento (who? ) and of course left a positive trade rating.If you have traded and not left a rating then please rate and then enter this comp.If you'd like entry to the comp and have not traded with the 'O' then send a pm and let me know what your wanting and we will trade, items that are within the forum rules only.Get in quick though as supplies are low.Tomorrow this post will be edited with pics and a list of exactly what the winner will receive, a deliciously enticing collection of cuts and seedlings from the collection at oliveton.All you have to do to enter if you have left a positive trade rating for the account Olive or Pimento is to post a very nice pic of your favourite Trichocereus from your own garden, it's that easy...............This comp will run for 2 weeks untill the 26th of November.The winning entry will be drawn by a random number generator, so the posts will be added up and the total from 0 to whatever the last entry post is will be the total that's fed into the number generator.If one of my posts on this thread or a non entry is drawn then another draw will take place and so on till a photo entry is drawn by the generator.Internationals are most welcome to enter if you have traded with O or P and left a positive rating but you will need to pay the postage, if your in oz I will pay postage.Am defiantly looking forward to seeing some magnificent plants on this the celebration of 300 positive tradesMany thank you's great SAB - I look forward to updating this tomoz with some cool additions to your garden. EDIT - n here are the pics of what the winning entry will receive……………… (all plants will be sent well labeled) Seedlings- (pach x juuls) x TPM sausage x scop t. tereschekii bridgesii x (ss01 x ss02) validus x lumberjack macrogonis x helen paquensis x pach validus x juuls kk919 x TPM tereschekii x pasacana TPM x pach and the tip cuts bridgesii x scop eileen len bridges short spine paquensis x pachanoi and some TBM pieces.

MountainGoat Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Cranking offer Olive... My cacti infatuation is only beginning, so all my favourites have been cut to double (or more) the love.... The favourite would have to be "Arid Art" Macro (from PineGapControl). Its just a little tip now after splitting into 4 recently... Though the crest I got off you last week is pretty nice... edit: Also loving a couple I got off interbeing a few months ago, but they were both cut last week, so are a bit shy for the camera currently....
