tripsis Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Well, I think that all of them sold, pending payments. If anyone drops the ball, I'll update this thread, but for now I think that's it. Thanks for the interest everyone, hope you all enjoy your plants. Grow them well, keep them happy and share them around the community.

tripsis Posted April 29, 2012 Due to a change of circumstances, a couple of members have decided not to buy these seedlings, so there are now two packages available again. Once these are gone, that will be it. PM if interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tripsis Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) All the remaining seedlings will be posted tomorrow. To those who have already received their seedlings, I realised I have mixed up two hybrids. T. peruvianus 'Serra Blue' X SS02 which was listed and T. peruvianus 'Serra Blue' X T. huanucoensis which I hadn't listed, having not realised I even had it! So what is labelled as T. peruvianus 'Serra Blue' X SS02 will be a mix of both hybrids. The fatter, greener ones are the T. peruvianus 'Serra Blue' X T. huanucoensis hybrid, though their are largish and greener T. peruvianus 'Serra Blue' X SS02 individuals too. To those who I'm posting the packages to tomorrow, you will have them labelled correctly. Sorry about that. Edited May 6, 2012 by tripsis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flora Posted May 16, 2012 ^ bit of a legend tripsis. they arrived safely , & i have just finished sorting these to split with another member. i knew you would edit that first post, lucky i copy & pasted your notes on them earlier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flora Posted May 16, 2012 FOR THOSE THAT NEED THE INFO Some notes of the genetics of the above seedlings for those for familiar with SS stock: T. pachanoi monstrose X T. pachanoi 'Huancabamba' - an awesome hybrid between a monstrose form of T. pachanoi and the form most common in Huancabamba in north-west Peru. T. peruvianus 'Serra Blue' - 'Serra Blue' is "a beautiful stemmed fat clone from the Serra Gardens, originally part of Ed Gay's South American collections" T. huanucoensis - "Forms candelabra like stands up to 20′ tall. 4-8″ diameter dark blue-green stems with 5-7 thick ribs. Brown felty areoles that bear up to 7 small radial spines and 3 centrals up to 2″ long. New growth on older stems is often completely spineless. White nocturnal flowers. Native to Huanuco, central Peru" Trichocereus sp. BK09509.2 - Candelabra stems to 10′. Stems to 4″ diameter, dark green epidermis, new growth blushed blue. 5-7 radial spines, the downward facing ones up to 1.5″ long. 1 central spine to 2.5″. New spines yellow to red-brown in color. Growing on rocky cliffs, western slopes above the north end of the modern town of Chavin, 10,600′, Ancash Dept., Peru, not far from the famous ruins of Chavin de Huantar with its amazing subterranean labrynth and 3000 year old stone images of Trichocereus. This plant looks intermediate to T. santaensis (pachanoi) and T. cuzcoensis. T. santaensis - a very beautiful pachanoid. Unfortunately I've lost the notes I had on this one. T. terscheckii X T. 'huarzensis' - "the giant T. terscheckii crossed with another confusing plant from K. Knize, T. 'huarzensis' which is almost certainly synonymous with the pachanoid T. santaensis from the central Peruvian highlands" T. chilensis X T. bridgesii - the first of the SS hybrids with T. chilensis T. chilensis X T. huanucoensis - the first of the SS hybrids with T. chilensis T. pachanoi BK08611.5 - wild collected T. pachanoi, a clone common around Lima City and much of peru. Very round smooth ribs, small areoles and spines with blue-green stems. T. peruvianus BK08612.4 - wild collected above Matucana in Peru. "Fat blue-green stems to 6" or more in diameter. New spines are red to yellow, up to 3" long. Often growing prostrate. White flowers. Seed mostly from specimens with shorter spines, under 1" " T. riomizquensis BK10508.7 - "Upright stand to 8′ tall. 2–5″ diameter stems with green to blue-green to yellow-green epidermis. 4–7 radial spines with 1–3 central spines to 3″ long. Looks to be a distinct spiny form of T. bridgesii. Planted around the town of Totora, Cochabamba Dept., Bolivia, 9,000′. Growing with Buddleja, Carica, and Asteraceae. Local women call it “achuma” and use it externally to treat fever. No one knew where it grew wild. We searched where Ritter first described the plant at Chujllas, and along the Rio Mizque, adjacent valleys and slopes, but never found a single wild plant." 'Luther Burbank' X SS02 x 20 - Luther Burbank is an heirloom peruvianoid. Can't find the other relevant info on it at the moment. T. peruvianus 'Los Gentiles' - "Fat blue frosted upright stems 4″-6″ in diameter. Large fuzzy areoles with 6+ short radial spines and 1 or more long stout central spines. New spines originally blood red to yellow, fading to black and then dull gray or white with age. White flowers around the full moon. Ripe fruits are considered a choice “Pitahaya” for eating. Occurs at 8,000-11,000 feet in the central highlands of Peru near Matucana. Grows in a acequia irrigated agricultural system on rock wall borders of andenes and milpa style gardens. The cactus is referred to locally as “Pichu”. Said to have been tended to for at least 3,800 years by the lineage of people known as “Los Gentiles”." T. tulhuayacensis KK337 X T. bridgesii- an extremely rare and unusual hybrid between the fascinating T. tulhuayacensis, which has bizarre red and pink mottled flowers and T. bridgesii, a hybrid which will surely produce fascinating progeny. These were by far the most expensive of all the seeds I bought and SS seeds are not cheap. T. validus? Nl52509a - Thick columnar plant with large stout spines and big 4″ diameter sweet fruit. Collected by N. Logan at 7,600′, between the town of Puna and Belin, Potosi Province, Bolivia. These large Trichocereus are in need of serious study to clarify the taxonomy. This plant falls into the T. validus/werdermannianus/tacaquirensis/taquimbalensis/ escayachensis complex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
