Well?... tell us JD... did you get your digitostigma?? we're dying to know. ;)

Cheers, CP

I got some walnut fragments that are labelled as Tephrocactus seeds, but they might just be top-dressing ;)

Well, let me set up the story. The SDCSS had its annual Holiday Party this month.

You head to Balboa Park and enter the Prado full of happy expectations.

Upon entering the room, you are plied with spirits from our very own wine steward and his lovely assistant.

You drop your gift exchange plant off at the table.

You rush over and peruse the gift plants, hoping Santa will call your name first.

After that, there's just enough time to hit the dessert table once more before the auction.

Lots of nice stuff on the auction block, including a couple of packets of Digitostigma seeds donated by a mysterious philanthropist.

Oh, the look on the kiddies faces after they had reeled in the loot, just heartwarming...

Well, there it is. I outbid the crowd for one of those packets of seed, but I think my real score was this Idria for $20.

Feliz Navidad, y'all
