Good point roof!

If the islands of Japan had been blessed with cacti, this one would probably have been incorporated into the Bonsai tradition centuries ago.

As for serious cacti collectors here, Lophophora is probably in 3rd place in terms of popularity, after Astrophytum and Ferocactus, respectively.

That is neat -- It's very soothing to view. Since I never did get around to seeing what your username meant, I guess this answers my question!

Or are you just setting me up for some cutting rejoinder to that slip in the Computers forum......?
(yes - I do feel guilty for sniggering and have slapped myself.)

Naw...

Loph, now that I know their common names, I should call you "dumpling". People might wonder, though! :D

LOL

Actually, in Latin it means "I bear a crest"

So just don't call me "Colgate"....
