Side of the road cactus score

Recommended Posts

Found this monster today just down the road in front of a big "FREE" sign, needs a repot and stuff but pretty chuffed with it :)

Seems to have a little flower starting to develop?

Copped a bit of damage on one side

Yeah it's pretty safe to say in not looking forward to repotting, it's got roots coming out the bottom though so just going to have to bite the bullet hahaha.

Ill post flower pics when it comes :) got some others starting to flower too, first time I'll be able to attempt some breeding :)

Cheers guys, still not sure what it is, my noob guess would be some sort of E Multiplex hybrid.

When the other flowers open I'll probably try breeding it with something, the only other thing I got flowering ATM is a T Huasca, might try out some of the intergeneric breeding EG posted.

Im keen for a trade Stillman I'll hit you up a PM :)

F(cken awesome! No idea what hybrid it could be (might look it up when not so pissed). Echiniopsis hybrids are the best cacti!
