    pod

    Was very fortunate to be able to go back to the secret garden. Its looking stunning with all the rubbishy cactus removed Whilst collecting the loads of felled cactus last week i was amazed at the amount of seed pods all over the many, many remaining trichs. literally hundreds of fruit, and sooo many flowers on the ground excited by the prospects of collecting some, i asked Mr X if i could come back and collect some seed pods with view to germinating them and spreading some seed around. wonderfully he said yesssssss These fruits were very generously gathered and labelled by the inceptor, designer and father of the secret garden, Mr X. They are all open pollinated. Yowie open Macroginis Adelaide open Psycho0 open Cordobensis open Goliath open Cuzcoensis Murray Bridge open Len open Spachianus open Sausage open Bruce open Validus open PC open Rio Mosna open Bridgesii MM open Werdermanius Jesica open Werdermanius ABG open Spent some time last night cleaning seeds, never done this before, it will take a while to clean all these pods. did the pots with most pods in first - Yowie, Psycho0, Macrogonis and Goliath. There are so many seeds to go round of these types. Once they are all cleaned, dry, bagged and labelled there will be a WORLDWIDE giveaway for these seeds Will announce details of this on the trade threads soon as its all ready to go.

    There are two plants at the Adelaide Botanic Garden (ABG) that are labeled Werdermannius. Pics of those two plants - Tacaquirensis looking plant Taquimbalensis looking plant Imo ones a Tacaquirensis and one may be a Taquimbalensis - imo neither are Werdermannius The plant at the SG that the seed pods have come from is the Tacaquirensis looking plant, a cutting was given to Mr X several years ago from the ADL Botanic Garden which is why i call them ABG TAC SG OP (Adelaide Botanic Garden Tacaquirensis Secret Garden Open - ABG TAC SG OP) This is the plant at the SG that all the SG Tac op seeds have come from in pod 1, 2 and 3. ABG Werd or Tac op means the seeds are strait from the Adelaide Botanic Garden and not from The Secret Garden. Not distributed by myself, anything from The Secret Garden should always have 'SG' in the title. Ive a plant from Getafix i got in 2014 labeled as ABG werd. Another guy from Adelaide sent some ABG tac seeds around last season or the season before, im not sure if he's on here. Spachianus maybe the only other trichocereus sp flowering at the same time in the botanic gardens as the tacs/taqs or maybe and much more exiting......... the two tacs/taqs are cross pollinating each other........

    eBay/Gumtree finds

    I met the guy in Vic when i was there a couple months ago, good bloke, hes got some very nice plants. The other named seed growns hes selling may give the buyer an idea of what the no named one may, kinda impossible though to name a hybrid once the tags gone.
  17. This is Rita A friend 'found' this plant recently, he's busy atm so i did the work researching and harvesting. Rita was a lady who really liked cacti, she and her husband bought the house where the Rita plant is growing 80ish years ago. Rita loved her cacti so much she planted a big garden of plants - a couple of bridgesii, pachycereus marginatus, some cleistocactus and aloes are all that remain. Luckily the property has belonged to the same family for the last 80 years so finding out the history of this bridgesii was possible. Like many of the gardens and cacti stands in SA this garden was planted by a person with german origins. For this second sale, i have 4 pups to sell. Numbered left to right - ALL SOLD Each pup is 20cm + pups are $20 ea Postage is $15, medium parcel post bag - Australia only, if your OS and want some Rita then send me a message. Total inc postage - $35 - Aus only. Payment by PayPal as a Gift. The process to buy a pup is as follows....... Message Spooge and state the numbered cutting you'd like, I will respond with payment instructions. Immediate payment is required. Once you have paid, then you post 'SOLD' and the number pup you have bought on this thread. Plants will be sent next Monday. Thank you. edit - all SOLD.

    Rita - Bridgesii for sale.

    No probs Halcyon, your most welcome. Rita's sister plant is not as flash as the Rita plant in the pics, looks as if there were miltiple stands of the same bridgesii at one point, some have fallen and regrown. Ive multiple tips with flower buds so will be making lots of Rita x's this season. The 5 Rita cuttings have sold, Thank you to those who bought a Rita tip, i may put some more up if theres enough interest.
