Gymnocalycium cactus contest giveaway

Post by keithp2012 »

I am giving away 3 of my cacti to make room for more, so I’m holding a contest for anyone living in the US and one winner.
I will be giving away an oddly shaped grafted moon cactus, purple tinted G. Mihanovichii seedling (about the size of a large pea), and G. ragonesii “rubra” grafted, it has pink flowers instead of white.

Rules are simple, you get one guess, guess a number between 1-50 and the first person with the right number wins my cacti. I will ship the cacti to you free of charge and provide a heat pack inside and tracking number. Good luck everyone!

Yeah, I will do the same when the weather warms. I want to remove the South American species from my collection . About 6.

Me too!
Maybe I wasn't specific enough? How many decimals are we talking about?

The correct answer was 1.5900, too bad you wasted your guess on 1.59
