PS: I'm leaving her and her pups to expand as fast as possible trying to replicate a clump about the size of a dinner plate that I saw in the late 60's.
Here is a new picture of her in her newest 7" pot.

that is a beautiful cacti , I am green with envy
one time I bought 7 fresh buttons from the dude in the van out in the parking lot of the high school , 11th grade
the goal was to eat one button per class period
By 4th period , US History , when the teacher asked me a question , I could only quote the Bible by then , the class got real quiet , the teacher was cool,so he just went with the flow and moved right on to the next chapter
several of us met in the woods after school to continue our journey
the buttons were fresh and I could only take very small bites , chew them a little , then swallow , all the while holding my breath , it was a lot of gaging but I kept it all down
there was a lot of psychedelics around southern California in the 60’s and big horse capsules of blue mescaline were one of my favorites
the Purple Owsley and Orange Sunshine lsd took over everything and I just held on for the ride , never knowing where I was going , nothing I could do about it so I just went along for the ride
with peyote and mescaline , I could somewhat control what was going on , the ride was a lot smoother than the heavy duty lsd , never mind getting a hold of some STP around 1968 , that was undescribable , like lsd to the 5th power , 24-48 hours of deep space
good memories
i was surprised that I could still find STP and maybe I will go out like a 4th of July celebration when my number is called
