Evil Genius Posted March 10, 2012 This is awesome. Thanks for sharing, faslimy. Any chance of collecting seeds there? Would love to see some of them being grown here. bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solomon Posted March 10, 2012 Awesome! Especially the bees! Cactus honey.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faslimy Posted March 11, 2012 Any chance of collecting seeds there? There isn't a lot of diversity as far as Trichocereus go and the owners don't seem too interested in pollinating them. The one odd plant we found appears to have grown by its own means. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CβL Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks for the photos! I don't think there's anything like this in New Zealand (yet... hehehe). And also, I think those are wasps centipede, in which case - trying to score honey could be dangerous. ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faslimy Posted March 11, 2012 I have seen an indoor private collection that boasts an even larger T pasacana and Saguaro in Hunua Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Genius Posted March 19, 2012 Like Like Like Like Like!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting them, Interbeing! That really made my day. Any chance to get seeds or pollen of that awesome longespined Trichocereus Monster that is shown on two of the pics? The one on DSC01499. It does look like a truly unique species. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted March 19, 2012 Hey does JB come from this site too? I believe it is a bridgesii of sorts possibly a hybrid. I have some seeds of this from PD and they are twice the size of everything else I am growing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
interbeing Posted March 19, 2012 Love that one too Pretty sure thats the terscheckioid that PD crossed with a Psycho0 Probably have to wait till late spring to get some pollen of that one but I'll see if I can find some terscheckii x Psycho0 seed for you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
