One more year of failure

I will keep this short because I am very discouraged. As I write from a motel room in New Mexico, after such high expectations of a solid discovery, I am downtrodden because it was all for naught. In fact, I never could find any hint of the location reported to be in the three emails I received regarding the Christmas Cactus sightings mentioned in our previous post.

In fact, I now suspect they were all hoaxes designed to throw us off the trail of the Noel Cacti activity, which must again have been down in Texas. Now, on Christmas day, I sit here wondering how many unsuccessful years will go by before we are able to document a sighting in person.

I will be posting soon about our upcoming move to Florida; we had hoped to move to Texas since the trends show this is the center of Cactus activity for the time being, but we got a better deal in Florida. I'll be able to update later, for now I will resign 2008 to the history books and look forward to a fresh start for 2009. Thank you for your continued support and for the donations.

As always, if you have any information leading to the discovery of the Christmas Cactus, or to report a sighting, please email us at legendofthechristmascactus@gmail.com.
