kadakuda Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Here are some photos of my fairly newly acquired peyote's. they have grown a LOT since i had them. who said 30 degree direct sun wasn't good for them? So what is your call? williamsii of difussa? rids say difussa flower says williamsii. but williamsii can have messed up ribs and diffusa can have pink flowers. so what makes one think its one or the other?in order of date.the pair when they first started flowering.here is the bigger one, nice and tall.[image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/kadakuda/lophflower2.jpg[/image]the bigger one flowered first, but just one flower.[image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/kadakuda/lophflower5.jpg[/image]In all her glory. this one was self pollinated to see if they will be fertile.[image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/kadakuda/lophflower7.jpg[/image]the smaller one however sprung out 2 flowers.[image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/kadakuda/lophflower9.jpg[/image]Here they are out in full display. I gave these girls some pollen from the other cacti.[image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/kadakuda/lophflower11.jpg[/image]side veiw[image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/kadakuda/lophflower13.jpg[/image]scratch that. today i noticed 3 more. i was never good at math, but i believe that makes 5 flowers :crazy2:[image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/kadakuda/loph2.jpg[/image][image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/kadakuda/loph3.jpg[/image]size comparison, Canadian loonie.[image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/kadakuda/loph4.jpg[/image]the bigger one got jealous and decided to make it a competition. here is flower #2. See where that areole is with the dieing flower? that was just barely visible when i bought it about a month ago, all the others inside of that one are new growth since.[image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/kadakuda/loph5.jpg[/image]More photos to follow as they grow/flower/fruit or pup (i hope....).they are both in 4" pots and seem to be about 3" wide...i have not measured them for some dumb reason. grafted on hylocereus.

tonic Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 As we said in EBA forums Lophophora williamsii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadakuda Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 i think so as well, but i have gotten 2 pm's saying that it is diffusa, because diffusa can have pink flowers. the variation mentioned was l. diffusa v. kohreshii. you don't think so?i am really very curious as to why EXACTLY people are going one way or the other, because flower colour just doesn't seem to be accurate...according to sites saying that both can be pink... the only thing that seems fairly certain is williamsii cant be white, so if they were white i guess tehy would be diffusa, but they can also be pink...so???

tonic Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Cacti flowers tend to very variable, the fact that they have NO pups whatsoever and considering the size [without pupping] I would say definately Lophophora williamsiiDiffuse: Widely or loosely scattered or spreading.Spreading: Having a horizontally branching habit. L. diffusa is diffuse in it's growing pattern and will pup very readily from a small sizeI'm sticking with Lophophora williamsii the ribs are far too pronounced for me to think it was any other speciesIncedentally, what species did you purchase them as?
