bogfrog Posted April 18, 2013 Such a cute little crest you've got there Stillman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted April 18, 2013 i found this crest on new years, it was a huge cactus with a lot of crested branched, so i asked the owner and he gladly told me to take whatever i want. So i took this piece. i thought it was an opuntia type of cactus but now i'm doubting it since it doesn't have any glochids http://s62.photobucket.com/user/Reptilecacti/media/image-17.jpg.html'> this lophophora graft is displaying a freakish swelling, but i'm guessing it'll probably be pup under the skin http://s62.photobucket.com/user/Reptilecacti/media/image-11.jpg.html'> 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyWalker Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, just out of interest how much would a cutting from my loph will crest go for around here, it was seed grown, showed signs of strange growth being a solitary and then it was grafted and became a crest, im not sure how much they are really worth, but i will have one spare, im taking a couple and giving a couple to a mate, so it wont be wide spread, just curious, sorry if its in the wrong spot here i just figured you guys would know, cheers Edited April 21, 2013 by SkyWalker 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mushroomman Posted April 23, 2013 Nice plants Tipz, is that TPM the one that is always being sold on eBay these days or is it a new form? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tipz Posted April 23, 2013 It's a new form. it shows Semi monstrose and cristate traits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kykeion Posted April 23, 2013 Hey Tipz, nice looking plants! I really dig your eulychnia. Is the eulychnia castanea var discoid monstrose a different form than the eulychnia castanea var spiralis, or is that just another term for the same form? (Looks the same to me, but there might be some detail I'm overlooking ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tipz Posted April 23, 2013 Eulychnia Castanea var monstrose : Description: This odd plant is known in cultivation under quite a lot of different names (among them, "spiralis", "varispiralis", "spiraliforme", "mostruosa", "monstrose", "monstrous" ) It is a variable cultivar of which we can distinguish at least four basic growing forms: Columnar monstrous form: Characterized by a lumpy-bumpy monstrous surface, this is the more common form, about 60-75% of the new branch shows this monstrous morphology. Columnar discoidal form: Characterized by green discs placed one on top of another in a heap. Only 20-30% of branches develop the typical discs. Columnar spiral form: Characterized by curly, whirly spiral growth that can be equally dextrorotatory or levorotatory, this form is very appreciated by collectors but comparatively rare (about 5-15% of shots shows this admirable feature) Crested form: Characterized by fan-like sculptural shapes comprising mix of the previously types, this form is very rare and prized. NOTE: All this form are only growing variant of the same clone, each new branch must show one (or a mix) of the four growing mode and each plant is unique and different. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) what do you think? is it a freek? dont know what it is. might be validus. sprout from a lot of a "mix" pack of trichocereus. have shown it again. i have its companions which look ok, and are plumping, and actually seem consistent in their phenotype. Boy I have to sow more shit. heheh well those are freaks too! Monvillea's wut the sign says this was in the lot of the asterias I bought. lucky one ferocactus freeks this is a myrtillocactus geometrizans, crest it seems, [coming from a graft] was gifted this from a kind friend from usa, as I was looking for the cresty form of myrti geometrizans for a while. In the mean while I got a another 2 monster myrti, other than the breast , which I already got, which are monstrosa, one from usa and one from greece [source: holland ?] . I hope they are different strains. all new in my hands.... Edited April 25, 2013 by mutant 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
