The bottom isn't soft at all. There are a total of 3 orange spots on the cactus, all above soil level.

Do you mean soil composition? Or to check for fungal infection? I'm planning on uprooting it to take a look after work today. It's growing in mostly pumice, with some coarse mineral sand, perlite, and a little bit of compost. Very little organic matter.

It was a nice gradual move into full sun, and all my other Astrophytum are doing well in terms of keeping from becoming sunburned. My heart sank when I saw it. Usually that color orange has led to some unfortunate losses... Should I try removing the affected areas?

Is that the pachypodium lamerei cristata specimen from Berkeley Botanical Garden?
-
And I'm not sure exactly what the deal wth these two is. Most definitely odd when compared to the rest of my astros

Now that's what I call a tricho peruv crest !

Can't wait to get my hands on this... Thank you for your boundless contributions EG. 🙂 -
Picked this up last week. The lady I bought it from was convinced it was lophocereus schottii, but I see Pachanoi.

My ever growing astrophytum shelf

My investigations on it yielded confusing info. All cleared up now. One of the many many reasons I love this forum. Thank you :-)

A few more additions to the family Superkabuto Asterias Coahuilense x superkabuto Is coahuilense synonymous with myriostigma?

The cutting was bigger. Couldn't take it on the plane back unfortunately. After my brother-in-law mailed it back to my house it was in need of some surgery. :-/ I wanted to take a nice big branch, but I got the idea the lady who allowed me to take a bit really liked this plant in particular. Maybe I'll drive next time and offer a trade for a bit more. The blue color is what caught my eye.

I found this while on vacation a few months ago. I was out looking for a cactus nursery I had located via the internet, but when I arrived I learned it had closed down years earlier. My heart jumped when I noticed this beautiful plant along a fence line. I asked the woman who informed me about the nursery no longer being there if I could take a cutting, and she gave me the go ahead. Obviously a trich, I was wondering if anyone could further elaborate on what I've got. Thanks!

It is standard size wire fencing. They were particularly fat columns. Thanks for the help everyone!

From a book my friend gifted me

It seemed to be peruvianoid to my not so well trained eye. There are some very long spines on the cutting I took. Some pushing 3 inches.
-
According to the grower who sent it to me, it is indeed. Ornatum x myriostigma. :-)
-
Olive, you've got me drooling... I hope to one day have some astrophytums as gorgeous as the collection you have.

My new addition to the garden looks a bit different than my monstrose pachanois. The spination is where I really notice it. Just wondering if anyone had an idea of what I've got here.
