Re: 30 Cacti delivered

Re: Are these healthy?
Agreed, and I just put cantharis on my ignore list. Joined the forum in 2009, posted nothing for years, then comes back from out of nowhere exhibiting the good manners and social grace of a sledgehammer. People who aim a cutting attitude at others deserve to be ignored. Et tu, Brute !! And not sure...

Re: Are these healthy?
First, I would like to say, that is not a beer can. That is a candy tin, Wow a candy tin - sooo MUCH better !!!! I never said better, I just said that it was not a beer can, which it is not.
