Question

I've had these for almost a year now but don't know what they are.

I'd appreciate it if someone helped me out.

Hey Philo, left one should be Echinocactus grusonii and the right one is Notocactus, now Parodia. I think it´s Notocactus magnificus.

on the notocactus:

there are three simlar species

magnificus warasii and leninghausii

I am growing some of what I believe to be warasii, but I might also got a magnificus or two..

warasii is the fastest and is more likely the species found in the market

but you might have found yrself a magnificus indeed

can be left wet the whole winter season on the roof - If I can do it, then you sure can

the same with echinocactus

Its a magnificus. They look a bit different. Got lots of notocacti with the collection two years ago.

Yeah, its rather a magnificus as the wool in the areoles makes a united "line" down the rib... the lenningahausi is the most different of the three all it seems, and all flowers are yellow and I think almost identical. I also get the impression that warasii pup earlier, thus I think I also got a magnificus which is about at the same ages and shape as yours...

I can take a photo of all 3 entries from a nice book I got and send you

or you can get it , I cannot stress how much I recommend this book. its small and paractical and full of knowledge, despite the catch title 500 cacti..

did I say its fucking cheap?

lennys are well different, warassi is less common, more heavily spined than mags, para grew a bunch of warassis a while ago, but that's defs a mag

Interesting, so I can show you by biggy Notos and you tell me if they're warasii or magnificus??

can you show me a photo of a real warasii?

There are also reasons to believe there might be intermediates - or that all species come from the same common ancestor, as they occur more or less in different locations of the same region (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil)

Sure they will hybridise with one other, no?
