Default Cereus question

Its only complex if you cant tell the forest from the trees, Rinkytink.

Or maybe in your case, the Forrest from the Gump!!!!

(I know that pun went completely over your head. Too bad, Bubba.)

It is very easy to use words such as "idiot stepchildren". Actually the
relationship between horticulture and botany is one of long standing and a
fairly complex one. You don't seem to handle complexity very well, do you?

You seem to be forgetting that this is a botany newsgroup not a butt

kissing newsgroup, Rinkytink.

In many instances, horticulturists are the idiot stepchildren of botany.

Most of what they expound is years out-of-date of botanical knowledge and
often incorrect. Their grasp of plant taxonomy and nomenclature is

typically
nil at best. To most of them any name regardless of its validity is good
enough. You should know better.

If you know nothing about the subject your opinion means nothing
