That's the way! :mrgreen: You can tell them you did a swap as well... Distributed some nasty thorns and get these tiny gems. :lol:

So we are just cacti-care-givers? I have some of my plants from the collection of a dead person whose wife did not shared that passion. In ancient times some people were berried with all their possessions...
