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!
What a beautiful response to an unfortunate situation. When life gave her lemons, she made lemonade!
This is what social media should be about - Bringing people together for positive reasons!
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 how we could really help a lot of species survive as humans.
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!!!!
Gardeners are some of the most caring, giving people 😊. Thanks for sharing this sad but awesome story.
This is wholesome news worth hearing. Thank you for the uplifting video.
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❤
Aww what a beautiful plant story 💚
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.
You are a great person thank you for your generous blessings
What a fresh breath of air this woman is. Sharing is caring.
What a beautiful story
❤
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. ❤🌵
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 😊
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
Nice to see positive news
The world needs more stories like this one 😊
God Bless you Betty-Jo!
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 ❤
A positive use of social media! Very touching!
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.
Beautiful example of turning tragedy and disaster into opportunity and positive outcomes!
Lovely woman, lovely story. 🌵🏜️
Mad respect to the woman who gave away her cactus clippings
What a beautiful story. She made the best of a bad situation. Very stoic.
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 great story ♥ We need more Betty-Jo's in this world.
This is such a beautiful story, live on beautiful cactus!
How wonderful. !!!! Now because of a storm a story in a cactus and a kind hearted lady will live on for generations to come.
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 🙏❤️
Oh, how sad and lovely at the same time!!!!
Really enjoyed this story. We need to hear more of the good things and possibilities in our communities. Thank you! 😊
This is so beautiful. Now this plant will live forever on.
Wonderful story! 😊
Community is everything.
Loved this
Such a wonderful story! I especially am grateful to the people who shared plants with her, sharing with her in kind.
Well that is just the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I love it.
What an amazing and sweet story.
Very uplifting
I love this story! What an inspiring woman.
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.
Wow! That is a metaphor for hope and survivorship. Knocked down and somehow multiplied everywhere. 💚
amazing. the happy pictures of people getting clippings made me tear up.
What a beautiful story. :') 💖
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.
How beautiful, the senita lives on.
Great story , spreading joy is much needed ❤❤❤
Beautiful story 🥲🥲🤣🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🏜️
I Love this story! I'm sorry what happened to your beautiful cactus but you just spread love everywhere! 🌵💚
That is so cool!!!
Wow!!! Thats a beautiful story!!!
What a wonderful, beautiful soul. ❤
I needed a wonderful story like this!
What a beautiful person, turning sadness into happiness for so many others
What a wonderful story! Thanks!
What a beautiful thing to do !!!!!! ❤❤❤
what a beautiful story and a secret blessing for all! God Bless you sweet lady
Nature is the best medicine.
Thank you Betty Joe
I love this story. Gorgeous ❤❤❤
This is absolutely something I would do and have done ❤
Is anyone else getting "Little Shop of Horror" vibes, one of the last scenes of the movie is where the Audrey II was being clipped & propagated all over the United States. What a great story!
Do it! Write a spin-off, make a short story.
This is BEAUTIFUL!
What a great story. Thanks for sharing beautiful stories. We need more of these
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! ❤️💙
When you care about a living thing, this is the way. All the creatures I've loved in life, my goal is to always give them a boost at the goal of life itself; propagation! Seeing the descendants of old friends, be they man, cactus, raccoon, cat, dog, or bird. Etc. It's the most rewarding thing about living. I wish societies were structured around this concept again. We've lost our way.
That’s a wonderful thing to share. And she did it so well. ❤
Do not feel bad when the wind knocks down this kind of cactus, this is actually their intended method of propagation. Their seeds have low viability.
What a lovely story - thank you for posting it!
What a wonderful news story,this brightens my day !
What a beautiful little story.
Thank you for letting the plant live. I brought two plants back to life recently and it gives me joy :)
She turned an unfortunate event into blessing!
❤❤❤ Beautiful love story about people, plants and community on Mother Earth.
That’s a beautiful story, I love sharing my plants too.
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.
The histories we need. Thank you
That's why I love Tucson!
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 🌵 🌺
Sad situation. Yet very nice of her.
What a wonderful legacy
Wooooooow!
SENITA TOWN. . .would love to visit this town with all the senitas. . .from 1 to many..woooooooooow!❤❤❤
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. ❤
This Is the news we need to be shared
Wow her place was beautiful! And that cactus sooo huge!
I love this. Thank you.
Such a lovely and wholesome story ! Gotta love the plant community
I love this story so much I cannot even tell you. 🙏🏽
❤❤ that’s the sweetest, I would’ve been thrilled to get a piece myself!
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.
Loving this so much 🥲
God bless these people. Great work.
Amazing yard ! 🙏🏻
Great story! ❤
Love it!
People need to stop virtue signaling on the internet and start building community like this!
