I'll grow it as long as it doesn't have glochids. Gaudy flowers a plus.

If I'm reading that correctly, it says "Painted cholla cwonder77@gmail.com" So, if you want, you could email them and tell them what you think of their "art".

Hi, I think that is the guys e-mail. Although, I don't know that I would contact this person even to complain because I think that will only encourage them to do more. At least that is often my experience with this type of personality. They seem to feed off the attention positive or negative.

One can only hope the cholla fought back valiantly and gave the vandal a piece of it's hide in the exchange.

I agree with Daiv. They might have done it just to mess with people.

DWDogwood, yes one can hope he fell into the cholla and had to have hundreds of the spines pulled out..
