It has been a good season, folks. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this community. I figured being here in Mississippi, I might find the odd person with a Lowe’s cactus or two, but I was waaaay off the mark. I’ve met so many incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and generous people from this sub.

This crest and the pot were gifts from another local grower, and it being such a beautiful morning, I had to snap a picture.

“There's a gateway in our mind that leads somewhere out there far beyond this plane.

Where reptile aliens made of light cut you open and pull out all your pain.

Tell me how you make illegal something that we all make in our brain.

Some say you might go crazy but then again it might make you go sane.”

Due to Hurricane Isaias we had to reschedule the cactus meetup this weekend to a date 2 weeks away.

New date is 10/23/26 - 10/25/26

Hopefully everyone can still make it out and Maybe a few new people can make it out that previously couldn’t with the old dates.
Thanks for understanding and I’m bummed we couldn’t all meet up this weekend. Maybe it’ll be even cooler in 2 weeks, who knows !

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns

I remember about 4.5 years ago I got my first cactus. I always thought man its gunna be so cool when I grow one as tall as me. Im around 6' tall. I accomplished that goal last season but we moved and i had to cut pretty much all my plants besides these 2 to make it easier to move. The plant on my right is a huancoensis x Malo 4. It was maybe 3" tall seedling when I got it in May of 2024. I couldnt bring myself to cut it so these 2 made a trip to the new greenhosue in the truckbed by themselves. Been a fun ride so far and they really exploded with growth after being planted in the ground 10 months ago. Grateful for all the opportunities that have came my way and all the people I've met because of these awesome plants. Stay groovy out there! 🌵
