Default Re: tell a Model A related story

I thought I had done sufficient research on the subject but you are correct. it was the cactusblastis that came from Brazil. Quote from the internet. - The first recorded introduction of prickly pear was attributed to Governor Phillip at Port Jackson in 1788.
It is thought that the shipment comprised drooping tree pear (Opuntia monacantha) and possibly one or two other species. The plant did originate from Mexico and the north of South America.
I have no problem being corrected updraught.

You sent me enough reading to last to next Christmas. cheers, gary
