0 Dreamwalker. Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) spachianus? thats what I reckon spach was my frst guess for plant 1 too, i cant usually tell spach from huasca/grandiflorus from photos on ebay tho ... beautiful collection btw Just when I think I'm getting a handle on id's..... I can see why spachianus is a consideration for the top 1, although after looking at images of trichocereus spachianus, I think it might be the last 2 pic's which I was thinking was trichocereus grandiflorus, but as you say Nail. they have red flowers, although I read hybrids or cultivators can have white, yellow...orange etc.....I think now the last 2 are probably spachianus. The top 1's ...doesn't pup...I was thinking Pilosocereus, or Cleistocactus ??? 1 day it will flower, then I'll know thanks Edited October 9, 2014 by Dreamwalker.

0 Micromegas Posted October 9, 2014 i'm with dreamwalker i think the top one is cleistocactus. you'll know when it flowers. the one in flower is a schickendanzii perhaps. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) First one is not a Trichocereus. I think it´s Haageocereus. Gracilis or so. Second one is Trichocereus Grandiflorus. But as Micro already suggested, Schickendantzii is very similar. Like synonymous Similar. Edited October 9, 2014 by Evil Genius 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as Micro already suggested, Schickendantzii is very similar. Like synonymous Similar. Really? I thought Grandi had red flowers and Schick's were pure white? Wouldn't that make them different plants? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Well, Grandiflorus is crazily hybridized but many of them are red. But they come in all colors and the white Ones are pretty similar, if not synonymous. That´s why i don´t really consider flower color alone to be reliable enough to ID a species. Especially within in a bastardized Species like Grandiflora. Schickendantzii flowers in white. Grandiflorus oftenly Red, Yellow, White, you name it. If you take away the flower color, they are pretty similar. Grandiflora has been used for Hybrids since like the 1900´s. Recently, it was placed in Echinopsis Calochlora, which is the bullshit of the year. Edited October 9, 2014 by Evil Genius 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Dreamwalker. Posted October 9, 2014 ok...well I'm happy thanks everyone for your input. I'm going with the top pics being a Haageocereus (there's a few Haageocereus sp it could be, will have to wait for flw) the 2nd probably Grandiflorus, possibly spachianus...........its hard.
