6X the disk space, 8X the processor capacity, 4X the RAM and 2X the transfer

the future.

Deceased
At noon on September 30th. 2003, the in Denmark well known nursery
owner P. C. O. Nørgaard died after a long period with health problems.
P. C. O. Nørgaard was 86 years old when he died and did until his
death still run his nursery in Sundby on the Danish isle Mors. P. C. O.
Nørgaard did not have any close family, so he did leave a will,
in which he has written whom shall inherit the plants and his estate. The
plants will be divided between different people and the home and all within
it is inherited by the Morsø Museum.
P. C. O. Nørgaard was a well known collector of many interesting
plants and his special interest were: Iris, Hemerocalis,
Yucca,
Agapanthus,
Sempervivum
and Jovibarba,
Papaver,
Primula auricula + Primula
pubescens + hybrids and forms of such, Mandragora officinarum,
Dahlia,
Paeonia
and any rare and different looking plants. P. C. O. Nørgaard will
be missed by those who knew him and Denmark has lost a great nursery, fortunately
will his plants grow in the new homes of those who has inherited them.
I was one of the people who did inherit some of his large collections of
plants, I have been left almost 30 different forms of Yucca and
around 300 different forms of Sempervivum and Jovibarba,
plus many other interesting plants. When they have been propagated, I will
be able to some distribute plants in the spirit of P. C. O. Nørgaard.
Long live his memory.
Some of the many different Yucca plants that P.C.O. Nørgaard
left me.

News
On July 23rd. and July 24th. did I have a visit of a journalist and
a Cameraman from the Danish TV-station DR2
They were making a TV-serie about "ordinary Danes" (that's a person like
me!) with a special hobby, and the theme is what do those hobby folks use
their computer to in relation to their hobby. The program I will be in
will be broadcasted on October 20th. I'm looking forward to see how much
they have used of the 5 hours tape they did film when they were visiting
me ? So if you wish to see the person behind www.bennyskaktus.dk, this
is when you get your chance!

News:
For the first
time have I Yuccas with fruits in my garden. It started when my friend
Pia Larsen asked me why I haven't tried pollinating my Yuccas, I told her
that I had tried it several times, and only one time did one plant start
a seed pod, but the pod did not mature before the frost in the fall. The
first flower of Yucca arkansana were
pollinated on July 14th. with pollen from a Yucca
filamentosa?, and visa versa, now there are one fruit on each plant.
Since have we been able to cross pollinate several other species and forms
with each other. When I have gathered more information and have photos
ready for it will I edit the page about Yucca pollination, with information
about the process.

Spring has arrived to Denmark! So I did water the plants in the unheated
greenhouse for the first time this year. 10 Pediocactus had flower buds
when I watered in the morning, and in the afternoon 15 plants had buds,
they sure work fast!!
