HAHA JT... you've the same method of managing plants as I do.... they are comming in.. they are going out..... yes.. you'd said you'd had T X T before ... and would like to try it again.. so I left one with you... if you got back with it or not I have no idea... but it should have bloomed for you.. even as such a small plant as you got .. but maybe the heat there slowed it down some.. I was just happpy to have you take something... with your lovely brug I took away.. and I'd be happy to grow any of your new ones if you brought them along with you... I don't think I have any of your old ones I could return.. but I'll make sure you get Temptation X Temptation this round...
Brenda... yes I'm driving .. so size is no problem.. I'll have a pile of cactus... they aren't real fast growing ... but so armor plated it's hard to imaging doing something so egregious to it....not to have it thrive..
Yes Carol... if you got a cactus from me it was that one.. it's the only spiney one I have.. a gift from mothers twin sister before she died.. my aunt Velma grew it up in the MS delta.. and I almost think it was ouside for her... not sure about all winter ... I know I've seen mothers in the snow one time or another.. I asked her what it was planted in for soil.. and she said dirt.. so I knew she was talking about her black dirt with the yellow clay... wouldn't think a cactus could manage that .. but like i said it's got no problems with any condition or any treatment..
OH..I'll bring back some of this pictured beauty.. I think it came from my first visit to Florala.. unlike others of similar types it's bloom doesn't smell bad at all.. and no needles.. I call it my ponys nose... as the plant feels just as soft..
