I'm not knowing anything about cactus's so I Googled a picture It looks like we have them not sure though they are the same, they look the same, over here they make soup of them maybe they don't taste the same? :P
And this is why I know you don't have Saguaro Cactus :wink: :
Saguaro cacti, Carnegiea gigantea, only grow in the Sonoran Desert. However, they do not grow in all parts of the Sonoran Desert. This map represents the range of the Sonoran Desert (crosshatch) with an overlay of the range of the saguaro cactus (solid). The range of the saguaro is limited by freezing temperatures in winter.

Peter's ABC islands do have a fine crop of cactus. I'll be lazy and use somebody else's pictures. Easier than finding mine :lol:

My islands only have prickly pear and spanish bayonet. I'm glad :D

Thats Pretty Right There :D The Saguaro only grows 1" a year, so probably wouldn't be good for a fence if you wanted it this century :wink:

Some people are more patient than others :lol: We do have another type of cactus plant here, and I think probably in Curacao too that's called a Century Plant. It only blooms once in a hundred years or so. Then it dies :( A very widespread variety of Agave, it's used to make Tequila and some Mexican beers, jelly and soup too. The plant isn't too spectacular but the flower stalks shoot 40 feet in the air 8)

Since we got all the way to nude beaches, I think this posting has done its job. What a whacky great group this is.

Way to go Craig for saying what needed to be said. My dad said "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything"


Let's keep it possitive.
