We see Gila flickers here from time to time. When I had a large saguaro in the front yard, they built nests there. But it was a transplanted cactus, rescued in 1986 when they built the Central Arizona Project canal, and never established well.
We had a series of cold winters beginning 2007. A lot of big saguaros in the neighborhood died of cold damage, including mine. It usually takes months to show up, and the plant collapses into a pile of stinky rotten mush. It is really an awful stomach-churning smell. The bacterium is a species of Erwinia, the genus that also causes Phalaenopsis soft rot. Different Erwinia species are specific for just one species each of the large columnar cacti.

Here is how to do video in a box:
Go to the video site. Copy the URL of the video to clipboard.
Go to write a message here on Orchid Board. The video URL is still on the clipboard.
Decide what text you are going to call the video. This will appear in the maroon bar at the top of the video box.
Write that text in the message. Now highlight what you just wrote. Look in the icon bar just above the message box. There is a blue globe with a link of chain. Click that. A box opens up for you to paste the link. Put the mouse in the box, right click and select Paste as plain text or Paste. Look at what is there before you hit OK to make sure you don't have an extra http:// in there. Now hit OK.
You aren't done yet. You need to edit what just got put into your message. It will look something like this. I included sharp signs # as errors so this doesn't actually look like a link in my final message:
[#URL="ht#tp://www.youtube.c#om/watch?v=x am01uaj6Vg"]Dogs Barking Jingle Bells[/#URL]
Remember the # signs are intentional errors above, and shouldn't be there. First, change URL to url, lower case. Also change /URL to /url. I don't know whether this is really needed, but all the boxed videos seemed to have it.
Second, get rid of the double quote mark before http and at the end of the video URL, just before the right square bracket ].
Last, insert the phrase
YouTube -
after the right square bracket at the end of your video URL, and before the text you want to appear in the title of the video box. It should appear like this, if you remove the # signs I inserted deliberately so you could read this:
[#url=h#ttp://www.youtube.c#om/watch?v=xam01uaj6Vg]YouTube - Dogs Barking Jingle Bells[/url]
You can almost always look at the HTML code in our messages to try and figure out how people did things, if you hit the Quote button and look at their original message.
