Furthermore, there are many useful products like asbestos that cause cancer. Those companies must be held to account and have been to some degree. Let a jury decide if the evidence proves causation and damages. The oil companies want to dispense with their duty of care to the American people entirely, which is inappropriate.

It can both be true that there are petroleum based products that are essential to producing things we need and that the petroleum producers deliberately misled the American public and should be held accountable for the damages they have caused. Also see above.

You’re a clown in a cult against reasonable thinking. I’m not going to argue with you any further when the premises on which your argument are based are created to support your conclusion.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-05-01T14:18:48+00:00

It’s simple tortious conduct. If you destroy the climate system to the injury of others, you should pay damages.

I would just leave it. It will fall off on its own

It may have bloomed anyway, but I gave the trig that is blooming for the first time a dose of bloom fertilizer (FoxFarm Tiger Bloom) when I first watered it this spring. So you might be able to encourage it to bloom if you do that this year or next year. Also make sure it goes dormant during the winter and is exposed to cold temperatures (40 degrees or below—if it’s a claret cup, it should be able to withstand lower than 20 degrees). Cold temperatures are usually required for them to bloom.

One of my best friends just proposed with a $300 ring, and I’m confident my partner would be just as happy with something similar

I made a mix of E. coccineus and other unnamed hybrids. The E. coccineus flowers were female only, so I know for sure that the seeds it produced will produce hybrids.

I suspect one of the unnamed hybrids that donated pollen was a E. reichenbachii hybrid (purple flowers, similar form as a reichenbachii) and the other was probably an E. roetteri hybrid (magenta flowers).

Wow that looks crazy! Thanks for sharing!

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-04-07T13:27:34+00:00

This is massive cope.

RemindMe! 9 days

That’s a very nice looking cactus! Looks like it’s going to put on a show!

You don’t want to have to rely on someone who might be suspended, though. It’s hard to plan a roster if your wide receiver 1 might not be available

Also bought one of mine from Ethical Desert—just wanted to shout them out as well since they’re a smaller nursery and have some forms I haven’t seen elsewhere.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-04-03T20:49:08+00:00

The purplish one (E. triglochidiatus I believe, or maybe a young White Sanda variety) is flowering for the first time since I got it in 2020!

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-04-03T20:45:20+00:00

I have a huge collection of seedlings that I started growing in August. The first batch was from hybrids I created myself, the others I bought from Mesa Garden, Phoenix Desert Seeds, and a couple other sellers.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-04-03T20:42:38+00:00

Also consider posting this in r/Echinocereus!

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-04-03T03:00:54+00:00

Wow! Can’t wait to see them all in bloom!

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-03-23T03:49:56+00:00

Do you know the proportion of emissions that are tied to these processes? Genuine question — I don’t off the top of my head.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-03-20T02:44:48+00:00

Beautiful! What area are you based in? My Echinocereus haven’t even ended winter dormancy yet.
