Evil Genius Posted February 10, 2015 Alright Guys, this Thread is now open for discussions. If you grow some of those or any other cactus from the 2008 Field Trip (if the BK Number starts with 08) please post them here. And please support Sacred Succulents to make sure they can go on some more field Trips! http://sacredsucculents.com 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Micromegas Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) This is an awesome thread EG. And quite an epic seed collecting adventure for those guys! I believe those procumbent plants that tumble down cliff sides, as in post #27 among others, explain the growth habits of the "sausage plant" and lend to it being a true south american variant. #29 looks very much like Yowie. The pachanoi in #25 is very interesting. Opuntia floccosa in #3 is a great plant. In different conditions it becomes very hairy and in large "mats" it looks like patches of snow in the Altiplano until you get up close. The fruit can be eaten. Cerro purgatorio at Tucume is a fascinating "island" of cactus among the adobe pyramids and cultivated fields (there are some amazing matucana up there), "protected" by hoards of black vultures and with some hefty energy to boot . The constantly growing areoles of Neoraimondia are bizarre; i think the species pictured in this thread is arequipensis. I bet they take forever to grow from seed! I've attached my own photo of the trichocereus from Isla del Sol, in flower. The island is nearly devoid of plants (through clearing, i assume it was once largely Polylepis forest), so this is definitely a cultivated plant. It reminds me somewhat of the australian clone we call candicans. Thanks for sharing! Edited February 14, 2015 by Micromegas 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2meke Posted February 15, 2015 yea awesome thread. this was gifted to me by CBL. cheers mate! i wondered what that number on the label meant BK08612.9 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted February 15, 2015 Hey 2meke, I am SO glad someone grew one of them! If you at one point can give a cutting away, someone could pull off an Areole grafting to produce a couple of plants. Certainly not now, but if you should ever have too many pups or seeds, please pass it around. This was a very awesome motherplant and the whole thing is very similar to Rosei! Again, thank you very much for showing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huachu Ma Posted February 18, 2015 Want sowing out the BK08612.4 Trichocereus peruvianus, Matucana, Peru today. I hope it germinate after 7 years. peace 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted February 18, 2015 It most likely will! This seed has a germination rate of at least five years and I am still sowing out seed from 2008 with nearly 70 percent germination rate. It´s just a matter of good storage and in those paper bags from Sacred Succulents, seed usually wont spoil so fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It´s just a matter of good storage and in those paper bags from Sacred Succulents, seed usually wont spoil so fast.You are right. The germination rate was over 70%. First i was critical because i have had a very bad rate from the seeds of 2009 the 'huachuma de chavin'. I could only save two plants whith grafting.But its ok, i have save the genetic for me and the graftings very strong and look like the plants on your webside. I have good results with seeds of Sacred Succulents...only one kind i have zero germination, it was a Strybing cross.
