Mabuhay (Welcome) from the Philippines!
Again, I'm Arthur. Another Asian-Spanish guy member hahaha
I've been here for a week and I love it here. I would like to thank the Cactiguide.com/forum admins and members.
During the week of being here I got a ton of tips and advices from Aiko, Dave and others.
I already made a simple introduction about myself in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=41001
Here's the photo of the seeds I've sown currently in the backyard. Its a mix I bought from Aliexpress and another E.Grusonni seeds from a local seller. That's all, have a great day everyone!
Daghang salamat! (Many thanks),

Welcome to the forum!
You should try to grow some adeniums. I heard they grow like weeds in your country and there are tons of hybrids

Thanks for the swift and warm welcome, Elie. Adeniums reminds me of my childhood days. Mom used to have a straight isle of Adenium in pots. They are like eveywhere! Our city used to have those in the middle of the street an elevated landscape for miles and milessss ayway. Like this
And our city specializes with our native orchid locally known as Waling-waling like this:

I don't know what to say. I would really love to add Kuna to my collection next to the EGP (Egyptian Pound) I received from a friend.DodoBrooke wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 5:58 amIf you need some Kuna (currency in Croatia) for your collection do let me know and I’ll send some
Im overwhelmed Dodobrooke you don't have to but if you insist, just one piece the smallest amount in paper bill will do, keep it minimal - it doesn't have to be high value and it can be current or outdated.
I appreciate and thank you for your generosity, Dodobrooke.

Oh boy I do lovin it to be here. Very informative you can learn a lot of things from a everyone based on their extreme experiences. I thought cactus are just plain as I used to know them and things like just this and that but NO. Its like reading an endless book and people's journal here. Very informative. If I continue being here, after 10 years I might be a walking cactus almanac or encyclopedia or maybe more.

If I have time during off work, I will let you know immediately. I'd be happy to mail you local and Adenium hybrids if seeds are available.
