       Trust me, you can find that kind of craziness in more places than just bad cooking shows. That was just a running joke around this place for a while during your hiatus.      Acually, now that I think of it, putting vichyssoise on a cheeseburger was the product of a running joke...

  Jesus and Miguel need to entender what's up.   Those looked great!   Need an address where you can send the leftovers?   I'd nom those chingaderos like the geuro grande I am.   And don't you be takin' any feta hate.   There's no room for that in this world.

       You should have more crowns. Just don't ever put vichyssoise on a bacon cheeseburger or I swear to Christ I'll stab you in the throat with whatever happens to be within arm's reach.

     I'm officially out of cuttings. Thank you to everyone who bought from me this season. I hope you have as much fun growing them as I have had over the last decade. Who knows, in five or ten years you guys might be spreading the hobby to friends and neighbors (and making some beer money on...

     POTM, right here ^. :cool:

     Succulents have the most beautiful flowers. They really make it worth their pollenators' time to come visit!

     ...or you could buy Tito's. I heard in their ads that it's gluten-free! :rofl:   WTF is the matter with people? :rolleyes:

     Stolichnaya is my go-to. It's reasonable priced and it tastes the least like anything, IMO.        I never understood the concept behind expensive "craft" vodka. Just ferment some stuff in decent water, distill it and filter it. :eh:

     The fist four pics are buds on my big bridgesii plant. Pardon the blurriness. There's not much room on my balcony for all my plants, let alone room for some 6'5" lummox trying to contort himself to take pics.                                            This one is T. macrogonus -...

  Dammit.   You beat me to it.   By a long shot, nonetheless.   I'll get you next time.

     

       Good deal! I'll cut them after breakfast and get them in some circulating air.      Yes. I will make sure they are dry when I box them up, but they will still need a few weeks for the newly exposed parenchyma cells to differentiate into callus (scar) tissue. It's a pain, but it's...

     Anybody's cacti have new pups sprouting? I pruned back my big T. bridgesii plant a few months ago and have noticed about a half dozen little green bumps popping out from under the cuts. I'll post some pics later today.

           Absolutely. If I were able to cut in three pieces, shipping costs would go down a bunch and the cacti wouldn't care one bit. ;) If that sounds good, I could cut it today and get it in the mail Monday morning. Let me know.      Just be wary of YouTube vids about growing Trichocereus...

     Nice! Your thread just made this arborist's day. :cheers:

       Sounds good. I might have some cuttings available next year, we'll see. My wife and I moved last summer and my cacti don't have the long growing season and daylight hours that they used to back in Illinois. If they respond by growing slower, I'll probably take a year off from pruning.

     Here's a pic of T. pachanoi after it came out of dormancy and drank a little in April a few years ago. In the height of summer, they will green up even more than that. (Don't worry if the cuttings I showed on this page look a little yellow and gross. These cacti look beautiful while they're...

       Sorry about the confusion with my inventory in the OP. The only cutting I have left is #6. (THP won't let me edit that post anymore.) That species would do fine in your climate.      As far as growing goes, overwintering has to be done in a cool dry place. These cacti will tolerate temps...
