She is now the great grandmother to many cacti
❤❤❤
That was a really beautiful story. From one cactus to hopefully over a hundred.
It's a native plant too😊
A unexpected reproductive success story 🌵🌵🌵
What a lovely woman. Gardeners are the best.. ❤
Love this! Gardeners tend to be the nicest, most generous people.
this very scare, my cat sad
Except to dogs and people with dogs
@@M_SC lol why do I have a feeling this comment is about how you’re mad that someone yelled at you for letting your dog 💩 in their garden?
@@batacumbaYou read my mind! 😂
@@M_SCf*ck u and ur dingy dogs y’all smell alike 😂
This is what gardening is all about. Sharing plants, helping native pollinators. All heroes don’t wear capes!
I think everyone that gets a piece of this great plant should all take pics and document the growing and successful transplantation of this and put a little book together of the babies the large cactus made and their journeys❤
What a beautiful family connection it would make.
That's such a great idea!
It would be great if the news cast could follow up in a year
A little ridiculous...people do this all the time. I posted my email above trying to get rid of prickly pear.
This is what social media should be about - Bringing people together for positive reasons!
This is how we could really help a lot of species survive as humans.
What a beautiful response to an unfortunate situation. When life gave her lemons, she made lemonade!
So sorry for the ruination of her beautiful and well-loved cacti and how gracious for her to offer clippings so those cacti can become many more.
Gardeners are some of the most caring, giving people 😊. Thanks for sharing this sad but awesome story.
This gave me goosebumps when the photos of the new "parents" picking up their plant pieces. A plant with a history! What a lovely thing happening from a bummer of an event.
The goosebumps were here as well!!!!
No idea why this was a suggestion in my news feed as I live in NE Ohio. I had a mircoburst bring huge red oak trees down around my property and splitting houses in half all aling the road I live on. Excessive rains, 120+ mph winds, turned the oak and pine trees in Cuyahoga Falls into massive wind sails. Thankfully nobody was injured but the damage was devastating. Maybe that's why I got this but that was a decade ago. Great story though regardless. Especially with anything that promotes community, propagation of life, or that you can find joy in the worse situations is definitely worthwhile watching.
Hopefully someone in your area has one of those portable saw mills, they can make beautiful things from stormed downed wood
That’s such a bummer . You could Look for local woodworkers ( like at farmers markets) and offer them some of the wood for trade of their craftworks . My partner trades items for wood and everyone seems happy with the heirlooms .
I live in SW Ohio lol so I was also confused 😂 cute story though!
I live in Australia in tropical north Queensland 😅 showed up on my feed 😊
This is wholesome news worth hearing. Thank you for the uplifting video.
Aww what a beautiful plant story 💚
You are a great person thank you for your generous blessings
What a beautiful story
❤
The best part about being a gardener or farmer is the fact that you witness growth and abundance first-hand which gives you the opportunity to learn to give and practice it a lot❤
Bravo!
Best news I've heard in many years.
Agreed! All you see anymore is misery and corruption. This is so refreshing ❤ good people still exist
These days, good news is like a cool breeze on a scorching summer day
So cool. Those large cuttings worth hundreds. Betty Jo is my grandma name
Wow I had no idea they were around that much! Super kind of her ❤
Good on her! It's a shame to lose such a beautiful cactus but now it can live on and bring decades of joy to others.
What a fresh breath of air this woman is. Sharing is caring.
The world needs more stories like this one 😊
As a cactus lover my sentiments are with you Betty-Jo. What a gracious gift to many and your cactus legacy will continue throughout. This story touched my heart. ❤🌵
Beautiful example of turning tragedy and disaster into opportunity and positive outcomes!
A lot of people need to grow these native cactuses. A lot of poachers are causing populations to decline for alot of cactus species
Looks as if at least one hundred new cacti will be grown all around the area! And likely others who have such cacti damage will be inspired by this story to do the same…
I just heard about these poachers! They literally wipe 500 plants off cliff sides when they take cacti! Out of our national parks no less & sell them for outrageous prices overseas.
More stories like this please. Stories that bring us together rather than dividing us. Thank you! I might actually tune in to the news if it was more like this.
A positive use of social media! Very touching!
Wonderful story! 😊
Lovely woman, lovely story. 🌵🏜️
This is such a beautiful story, live on beautiful cactus!
turning a gardening tragedy into a wholesome multiplication quest is really something to witness
cheers
Thank you for completing that mission in this earth world God chose you for this may your loving for the plants continue blessing your garden 🙏❤️
What a great story ♥ We need more Betty-Jo's in this world.
How wonderful. !!!! Now because of a storm a story in a cactus and a kind hearted lady will live on for generations to come.
The pomegranate probably would survive if replanted from the uprooting.
The mesquite might come back from the roots because they're so hardy.
I was thinking the same thing about the pomegranate! Put it back up, stake it until it takes secure hold again.
Really enjoyed this story. We need to hear more of the good things and possibilities in our communities. Thank you! 😊
Beautiful story 🥲🥲🤣🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🏜️
Wow! That is a metaphor for hope and survivorship. Knocked down and somehow multiplied everywhere. 💚
Well that is just the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I love it.
This is so beautiful. Now this plant will live forever on.
Community is everything.
God Bless you Betty-Jo!
Mad respect to the woman who gave away her cactus clippings
amazing. the happy pictures of people getting clippings made me tear up.
What a beautiful video - great newscaster - yes - this is the stuff that needs to be on the 6 o'clock news! I lived in Tucson many moons ago........wonderful to see the homeowner bless so many people with her dear cactus - loved seeing all the community gathering the cacti in their arms!
What a wholesome conclusion to what would otherwise be a sad event. That one cactus basically hit the evolutionary jackpot of, "humans want to keep me alive for some reason," and now instead of being dead, there will be hundreds of them.
❤❤❤ Beautiful love story about people, plants and community on Mother Earth.
Such a wonderful story! I especially am grateful to the people who shared plants with her, sharing with her in kind.
A few young nodes on a branch, on many woody plants, can also regrow a tree or bush. Bulbs also should be separated periodically and most often can be replanted and grow a new plant. Styles in nursery plants change over time, so you might have a time capsule plant in your yard just waiting to be shared to be great again for a new generation.
Great story , spreading joy is much needed ❤❤❤
What a beautiful story. She made the best of a bad situation. Very stoic.
Good person
What an amazing and sweet story.
Very uplifting
Very sad that this incredible cactus succumbed to the storm. What a happy ending though. Bittersweet for sure. Many people don’t realize the affection we feel for plants and trees in our yards…I was devastated when I lost four majestic trees to past hurricanes…great way to spread the love.
What a beautiful story. :') 💖
Wooooooow!
SENITA TOWN. . .would love to visit this town with all the senitas. . .from 1 to many..woooooooooow!❤❤❤
I Love this story! I'm sorry what happened to your beautiful cactus but you just spread love everywhere! 🌵💚
Very nice!
I needed a wonderful story like this!
Great story!!
Loving this so much 🥲
How beautiful, the senita lives on.
Thank you Betty Joe
What a beautiful thing to do !!!!!! ❤❤❤
Nature is the best medicine.
Amazing yard ! 🙏🏻
There is a huge cactus that droos piecesnnear me. The property owners leave them for whoever wants them. We have 13 in front now, and they are growing bigger.
Maybe contact other gardeners and naturalists to come get some pieces to spread it more?
Love it!
People need to stop virtue signaling on the internet and start building community like this!
awe this is so sweet and cute 🌺
a poor big mini cactus got knocked over but it gets to live on with so many other mini people 🌵 🌺
Incredible story
Great story! ❤
I love this story. Gorgeous ❤❤❤
Bless her and all who blessed that plant a major mass regrowth.
Cacti amd succulent growers are usually very generous sharers 🥰
That's why I love Tucson!
Nice to see positive news
This is BEAUTIFUL!
I was gifted a small branch of a Saguaro 29 years ago and it’s now almost 4ft tall. Oh it’s in a pot. And it won’t branch until it’s 75 years old. I won’t be here 🥰 I’ve loved it for years and it’s something I’ll need to give thought to for when I can no longer get take care of it. Keep yours growing and pass it on! ❤️💙
Sad situation. Yet very nice of her.
Wow!!! Thats a beautiful story!!!
What a beautiful little story.
This was always meant to happen❤
Wow her place was beautiful! And that cactus sooo huge!
"Woman figures out way to have her landscaping waste hauled away for free" lol.
And bring joy to others.
Cups half empty eh😂
Someone else pointed out that each piece she gave away is worth hundreds… so it’s seems rather that she was being extremely generous.
what a beautiful story and a secret blessing for all! God Bless you sweet lady
This Is the news we need to be shared
Hate that the plant fell but love that it gets to live on in so many new places! This happened to a couple of eucalyptus trees in Ahwatukee Phx a few weeks ago. Huge trees uprooted during a microburst. The owner had the trees cut into pieces of varying sizes and made a post on the OfferUp app listed as free. I got a few pieces and he had at least a handful of others stopping by, if not many more. He was very nice, the trees fell into a community greenbelt and knocked over his and part of his neighbor's walls/fences. I wish I thought to bring him something in exchange as a thank you!
What a beautiful person, turning sadness into happiness for so many others
That’s a beautiful story, I love sharing my plants too.
❤❤ that’s the sweetest, I would’ve been thrilled to get a piece myself!
❤❤ good story.
I started gardening three years ago and it truly is the most rewarding, relaxing hobby I’ve ever taken on. I would have loved to get one of those arms. ❤
I love this story! What an inspiring woman.
That’s a wonderful thing to share. And she did it so well. ❤
What a great story. Thanks for sharing beautiful stories. We need more of these
I'm not crying, you're crying! 😭
What a wonderful, beautiful soul. ❤
That is so sweet❣️
The histories we need. Thank you
Love this story! ❤
