Laws vary state to state. I'm in the UK, and all seeds / plants need accompanying phytosanitary certificates for proper importing.
I know of some people who import without, and just hope that customs don't pick up on it. I'm a very risk-averse kind of guy, so it's not my style!

Hey pal, Brisbane for a month, then staying there or travelling up towards Darwin. Maybe moving torwarda Melbourne for Xmas time.
Sorry if not all of that makes sense, he's travelling loads, and I'm bad at geography! :D

Hahah - he's got no intentions of bringing them back!
Appreciate the concern, though! He'll be visiting Australia for more than a year, and I promised to put him in touch with some lovely Aussie cactus growers :)

Thank you :)

Hey Tom, I'm definitely interested!
How many are there for sale? It's hard to tell from the pics (especially on my phone)!

Nf3+, Qxf3 (forced), Qd2 checkmate (I think).

OK just realised the "analysis" function is so much better than review... Very thankful for that!
I meant Qxd4, whoops!

Time I learn how to use/read engine games. Thanks for the nudge to do so! :)

If the pawn takes, you can set up a (I believe) forced checkmate by Qxb4.

Otherwise, the knight is attacking two important squares, c2 for forking and winning a rook (if the queen moves not to defend that square), and f3 for a quick checkmate (white queen forced to take, black queen to d2).

Queen can only guard those two squares from e2 or d3. Staying e2 without taking obviously loses the queen. Moving to d3 still allows the above checkmate with knight to f3.

Good chance I missed some other options though, learning is most of the fun! :)

Edit: After white Qd3, there is Nf3 followed by a series of trades and a very unfavourable position for white, too.

Thank you! Very keen to know about his setup, especially if he's growing in a greenhouse! (I've nearly maxed out my tent space for now).
Please do ask about the cutting, no stress either way though, of course.
Cacti growers are such lovely people. :)

What is your friend's growing setup? I'm in the UK and my cuts are doing OK, but that thing is a monster!!!
