Well, not yet ... A short update to inform all that I'll be shipping out the various cuttings and plants today. I've been in PM with some of you. I had just finished apologizing to one of our colleagues for my tardiness... it's just that it's too much of an effort for me to visit our local post office. In any event, I will be planning a visit to a well know CP nursery ...and I have permission from the owner to shoot some photos. When I finish, I will post photos of my visit here onto our forum... you know, like postcards from a friend on vacation.

Thanks for the pics flytrap. I can finally show something to my parents and let them know that I am not crazy. Whenever I say I want to get another CP...they will be like " Are u crazy? You have soo many already." But clearly I do not ! I already told them to get ready to be freaked out as in the future I will have a setup like this...a greenhouse full of plants ... especially CP's and the occassional begonias among my fav Begonia Mosiana.

My mother once let me use a bathtub to grow cacti and succulents when I was your age. We had two bathrooms by the way.

Family members can be detrimental to CP collections. You might try the Neem spray when they are sleeping.

lol! I know when I married....lol! I will basically put out a contract in front of my wife saying..."No complaints should be made about my CP obsession....no complaints about my animals obsession....no complaints about me spending time in my "would-be" greenhouse santuary"..."no complaints about me spending a monthly budget on plants" lol!

Gawd... take it from a married guy like me. Contracts don't mean squat if you don't heap out lots of patience, attention and quality time. ...oh btw, I was referring to your CPs. Now about your wife...
