[QUOTE="Grey Panner, post: 674065, member: 15464"] Way back in the fifties, a Stock and Station Agent called us into his office at Millmerran on the Darling downs to show us a cactus specimen someone had brought in . He said it was called Harrisia Cactus. It looked like a sausage and had needle- sharp spikes sticking out all round it. The spikes could penetrate boots and embed themselves in flesh so that the boot could not be removed without cutting leather. The most disturbing aspect was that the agent swore that the beast was continuing to grow even though it was just sitting on the floor in his office. He believed that atmospheric dust and moisture were all that it needed to thrive. Sounds like it could be related to the Hudson Pear. [/QUOTE]
