Wal*Mart and the case of the false flowers

Cheap vodka would probably do the trick too

I had to smile on that....not becouse it wouldn't do the trick, but rather becouse an expencive one would do it too.

No offense...it is just that kind of a day.

That is actually funny but i would rather drink the expensive one than waste it on the cacti!
Cheap vodka is around 3$ a liter while the average stuff like stoli and absolut are around 13-20$ a liter
Imagine wasting a grey goose on mealybugs!

You're right.

Today is the day I could use some vodka to kill the melybugs....just another sort of bugs.

Sometimes fake flowers do not stop real ones to appear:

Not the Walmart store but in similar one.

I've figured out that there are some good deals to be had on these at Lowes on their discount plant racks. Once the straw flower falls off, or gets wet and loses it's color, Lowes will mark it down to $1 to get rid of it. I've picked up a few really nice cactus this way.

Good job! I always love a way to beat the big box stores! I always pick up fallen bits up plants in sweeping piles to propagate. Also, if you can get away with dumpster diving, one can often find discarded plantlife (but you have to be dedicated)

Dumpster diving for cacti is something that I think you'd want a thick pair of gloves for.
