Hi Valentino.
My name is Shawn & I enjoy growing cacti (mainly Mexican species), I
live in the Eastern US, State of Virginia (coastal
Atlantic) & also have a digital camera;)
Can you tell me please, if I am not too late for joining your winter
testing of your grafted cacti, that you offer? I'd like to
participate! If you still have your offer available, I'd enjoy
testing your cacti here & proudly grow them alongside my cacti &
even outdors if you wish. If you affirm my participation, I shall
send you photographs of my cacti collection, the area where I live,
& explain my climate...
(Did I forget anything else, which you require?)
Can your cacti be mailed, before your winter test commences?
Thank you , Valentino.
Bye, Shawn |
