I got a couple of nice ebay cacti today. A little Coleocephalocereus goebelianus, and a Machaerocereus/Stenocereus eruca. They look like healthy plants. I put the eruca upright in a pot but can tell already that it has no sense of balance and will be ready to lay over in the ground by the time sprin...

Cactoblastis cactorum
Cactoblastis cactorum is a moth, not a plant unfortuneately. Hopefully they will nip it in the bud, those invasive species can get out of control.

Hey Bill come by for a visit, but please don't bring a shovel. :) That Stenocereus victoriensis is supposed to be a variant of the pruinosis.
