speaking of which, it would be especially cool to see
an article specifically on cacti from medit climates,
such as those coastal SoCal Opuntias, Bergerocactus

grow so far into their winter-rainfall zones.
and since i don't read the San Diego papers, could you
send an article link to the list without blushing?
Thanks!
