0 tonic Posted February 25, 2012 #1 Looks to be some sort of Mammilaria #2 looks like it might be Trichocereus tersheckii. See what others come up with though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Foo Posted February 25, 2012 I dont know about Tersheckii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted February 25, 2012 Could be Pasacana. But there are so many diffrent forms of Terscheckii that i wouldnt be surprised if it would be one of its many varieties. I pretty much gave up commenting on em. The differences are sometimes minor and have to do with where the flower emerges. bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Swiper Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks for the info guys, I'll be sure to put some pics up when/if they flower. Cheers, Swiper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted February 26, 2012 #2 looks identical to what i bought from Hamiltans as a T. Pasacana. I'm no expert but fairly certain unless mine is labeled wrong! d00d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tonic Posted February 26, 2012 Swiper, the mamm shouldn't give you too many problems with flowering and will most likely put on a show for you next season. The Tricho will take many years from that size to flower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted February 26, 2012 The first is Mammillaria hahniana. The other looks like T. terscheckii, but I suppose it might be T. atacamensis (aka T. pasacana), or in fact any sort of variety of either, or maybe any degree of intermediary as well. ~Michael~ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Swiper Posted March 14, 2012 Thanks very much for all the replies, guys. I saw a few pasacanas at a nursery and they looked very similar. Cheers, Swiper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
