What did you do to your cacti today?

Recommended Posts

A cactus enthusiast in the US asked me for some L. williamsii - 3 adults and 3 yearlings. So that´s some more of my plants emigrating !! They all had lovely plump taproots.

Change - the yearlings were about a year old !!! LOL!

The flowering adults were, I would guess, between 3 and 4, going by their size. Sometimes hard to know for sure as I don´t raise L. williamsii from seed any more - I have quite a lot of larger plants and they do it for me.

aye that about super expensive seeds..,

I'd already bought 5 valdezii seeds last year for £25 not inc postage and they were that expensive that they didn't even arrive !

- the bastajes..

but yeah it's so nice to see them at a good price because it's a way of guaging how well they are doing already

as captive breds as the first of very many..

mmmm i think the feel of getting my first ritterii beat the feel of getting a valdezii hands down ..

it was that good I had to have 2!

valdezii feels nicer to have as a new plant than hintonii though :innocent_n:

maybe will hunt a 2nd different genetic clone down at some point?..

Extended my Trich patch and added alot more cacti into the ground. Last weekend I picked up a big Icaro from a member last week so he went straight into the ground too. Happy days :)

Just grafted a Peru Matucana to Peres, I'll throw up a pic next week if it takes.

Attempted an uebelmannia graft, fingers crossed. Checked on my seedlings, you reckon the yellow one is worth grafting?

That loph has some nice color.

oh yeah i forgot to post the awesome sunrise the other morning too

post-14443-0-92730700-1447147139_thumb.j

kicked out the smellysyphilis valdeziana from the wanks in Lanc's ,

-might sacrifice it and flick it out the window of my modern day aztec pyramid onto some spikes...

my seedlings are far nicer than their piece of shit . :)

and their ariocarpus agavoidthese fluff has turned into the normal colour of orange from bleached white...

what a bunch of arse eh?

at least that one doesn't need sacrificing now..

maybe i can call it my own now it looks like a normal-ish plant..

hmm i wonder how many years it took for it to heal.. 2? , 3? - can't be arsed to check

... later on that morning ...

The spines are very flimsy and don't hurt when you play catch with a friend , which I don't reccomend.

Aye looks like a candicans to me too ^^, x] the poor thing..

oh the pele/turbie mightve still been alive but playing dead, or... it mightv'e been dead still playing alive ..

but it got it because it reminded me of the twats I bought it from -some really nasty cactus people in lancashire who abuse their customers verbally and need the kicking of their life whilst simultaneously being urinated upon from a very great height ;)

felt tons better after too.. , there's only a few candidates for sacrifice (all from the wanks in lanc's)

anyhoo , today in the cactery i wrapped up 2 of our lopho caespi's to gift to a new cool plant buddy in europe,

I might even give em a third yet...

and ordered 3 more from the same place i got the originals from..
