I will also probably see seven psychopaths (director seems especially promising) and crystal fairy tonight
Also what do you think the columnar cacti are in the chase scene in Once upon a time in mexico? is it cereus or trichocereus? Just watched it again in the other thread...
well there it is again - watch from 2.25
Pachycereus marginatus

What grows fastest in my garden may not grow all that fast for you as it depends on climate/light/nutrients. My fastest growing plants in general are all pachanoi and scopulicola cultivars.

Adopted a beautiful bridgesii, and put him in the corner!

Cacti multiply like rabbits!
You might want to take them out of the corner into an area that receives more sunlight

Love your setup Thunder, but how do you explain it to guests? I get enough awkward questions and phallus jokes and my cacti are all outside.
Nice one, which clone is that?
Yes, uno.

Is this from Ogun? I think that mother plant looks intermediate between pachanoi and peruvianus just like many of the plants growing wild around Ancash. This plant certainly doesn't look like a Lima pachanoi but it also doesn't look like a Matucana peruvianus (which is the reference point most people have when talking about that species).

I'm pretty sure it's named after the Chan Chan valley in Ecuador where it was first classified in European botany so pa-chan-oi is the correct pronunciation. I call it pack-annoy though because I'm from the US.
And yeah the op is definitely a pachanoi

It's almost as if individual plants are extremely variable even within a species

Those look amazing but if you wait around for another year I bet you could score a sharxx crest from the nitrogen giveaway for a lot less than those prices...

Picked up "Shamanism & the Sacred Cactus" today, took photos of 16 of the pages for you guys and uploaded them here:
Sorry it's not the best quality. If you're interested you should try and find this book at a library as it gives context to the images.
Of particular interest to this discussion is page 38, which shows cactus slices with 5 and 6 ribs. On the rest of the ceramics it appears there's a mix between 4 ribbed and 5-8 ribbed specimens
Also, it has been hypothesized that the boa, jaguar, and deer found with the cactus in Cupisnique pottery probably has some geographic significance: these may relate to water holes in the upper valley foothills where these animals are found as well as where alkaloid rich cactus are known to occur.
"Elera cites an interview with a north coastal shaman, Julio Navarro, to indicate how, in contemporary shamanism, sacred flora and fauna energize a mythical geography when the healer enters into a hallucinogenic trance to effect his 'magical flight': 'Sometimes I transform into an eagle and with my good vista [second sight] I see the good clusters of huachuma at the water holes where the curing plants also grow. Sometimes I converse with the tigre and the great serpents that live close to the huachuma clusters.' After the trance the shaman treks up to water holes on sacred mountains (Chaparri and Colan) to collect medicinal plants and the best San Pedro which enhance intuitive 'vista,' the hallmark of the shaman" (Sharon 2000, 4).

Peruvianus/wild pachanoi I'd reckon Stu. It introduced someone to a dragon apparently.
