hey WB that terscheckii knobbly , the one i have that looks closest (sorry i forgot to post it in your kind lady thread)

is that first plant in my post yesterday..

feel any familiarity ? by photographs

(i guess they lose somethings only detectable in person when actually with the plant)

anyhoo today in the roof box with my rescued bridgesii ...

it leaned over and whispered in my ear , "cor hoss its a bit fkn shady in here eh?" so i got up , gave it two and a half hours of metal

and ...post-14443-0-34272600-1432290669_thumb.j

so i gave it a lift to the rayspost-14443-0-96568500-1432290692_thumb.j

and i think I'm feeling a "thank you" already : 3post-14443-0-89443700-1432290718_thumb.j

Moved my buttons into the greenhouse after several below zero nights. Not a bit of visible damage on them, but I don't want to push my luck

cactacular day today...

..was really fkn pining for me cactuars all night last night ...so...

after an early 16 mile trek I went in and ambushed the tropic of Horsia:

hard and fast in the pass cuz given half a chance.

I fed Ixtlahuatlpost-14443-0-32383600-1432669630_thumb.j(loph tank) on a stealth plus a few ravenous trichos ...

and took some piccies whilst the previously sleeping cretinaceousness struggled to get their lies i mean shit together :lol:

to try and stop it but by that time it was all over...

*sings whilst headbanging in victory* Dx!

recovering from a nasty, but thankfully short lasting tonselitis, did many cuttings ...

TH congrats on rooting the Pelecyphora - did you cut it yourself? or you got this as a cutting? how long did it take to root?

hey what happened at that deserticola / chiloensis looking duo's tops?

and, how deep are the pots you use fro the lophos?

post-14443-0-06719000-1432848982_thumb.j this is the one who arrived labelled "echinopsis deserticola"

and well i dont really like the word echinopsis much but i very much adore the name trichocereus

and a tricho it feels to me..

hope you like it fella

and i cant wait to have pics of this last season's escayachensis sowing when they're mature;uploaded

TY very kindly for making me love escayachensis btw!

and have yourself a fantastic evening buddy

theyre trichocereus fulvilanus TTBOMK and one is a tip cutting i bought first that has some crusty tip going down

should maybe call it an ambulance or something lol but ive seen internet pics of a fulvilanus with an exact same dried out tip condition so that kinda helped me know i was holding a real fulvilanus ...

...and cuz i loved it so much............. i bought the next cutting down to make sure I had pups to look forward to :wub:

so they only rooted last autumn ...

I love the way the spines return to chocolate when wet - may even oil em up one day with a toothbrush and maybe olive oil or something natural :3 and I'd love to see them flower one day ... and stick my ... in one.. :P

which reminds me :,

dyu think its ok or cool to start a new thread asking to see if anyone has pushed their dick in a tricho flower

and was it worth the risk of gettn wang out near the spines and how it felt?... type thing.

Thank you very kindly regarding the smellysyphilis assholiformis :P

it's been a hairy few moths :lol:

sorry its been a long day lol , maybe longer than i describe.. but yeah ...,

i bought them as de-grafts in umm maybe october time?

so its taken that long and i thought i might lose them so many times thru winter and spring [erk]

especially that beauty that rooted... but fkn ayyyy! Dx! B) *does 80 backflips thru the woods n back*

that one i believe is a reg pelecyphora aselliformis , my very fave kind with the really sexy armour ... rawrzzzz :wub:

the others seem to look like some sort of monstruosity with extra fluffiness look

and i saw some the same being ebaid in other parts of the world as pelecyph' asel' mons'

and thats kinda the only thing that made me thnk "oh well thats what a monst' pele looks like then is it?"

ummm yeah i think i was gna say more but i keep gettn checked by folk who work where im staying every damn five ,,,

um srry for moaning but yeah frgot ... will add later if i recall

aww ty kindly it was a super find and its only just started growing and i only got in the last half of last year maybe fall time or winter?

im a noob still rlly only in my 3/4th year of growing them and i just about finished specimen hunting last fall ..

most of the plants have only just started to do their thang for me this month

i never imagined bridgesii could grow so dang fast ... but I wish it would reflect in this hulksmash though..

so the skills and imaculacy aren't my doing; but a very cool italian's work that has even more fascinating crestardoes :o

AMG this one he had looked like a lion surfing a wave :worship: , I'll see if I poached it lol , there was another super crest too that looked like an underwater "end of level boss" in a metal slug game

(neo geo)

but mine was the cheapest nice looking one lol *hunts thru more images than you can shake a stick at*

ahaa here is lion surfing
