PEOPLE! Let’s gather our resources & send this fine mind to Japan! I’d LOVE to hear Tony’s take on all the plants in their native habitat with their native pathogens that are pushed by our horticulture industry which are actually a huge problem here for their indestructible invasiveness. Plus, it would be cool for him to meet the cactus/succulent collectors!

[@katiekane5247]

I would personally like to see how some of the species that became invasive in the US look in their native habitat. I'd contribute to send him there. I have 2 sisters adopted from Japan in the 50s so I've grown up with an interest in that country. My mom loved the time she spent there, I have the slides she took while there. Fucking spectacular landscapes!

hot tip for anyone reading... if you plug yourself full of glochids, put some pva glue on them and when it hardens it will pull them out. like waxing hairs.

[@swayback7375]

Just make sure not to try a dozen different ways to get em out first. Once you snap them off too low it’s really hard for anything to grab them. I love opuntiod cacti, some look great, others kinda bland but they’re basically all packing a dose that you don’t want!

They're so cool. The camouflage thing especially is pretty mind-blowing. Really it's just the morphological flexibility of those spines (which are really just axillary leaf buds) to act as camouflage as well as defense.
