0 Ace Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'd say peruvianoid with about 70% confidence. The rib structure throws me off a little - seems a bit knobblier than usual (mostly just in the second pic), but it could be just a result of a happy plant. Absolutely gorgeous colouring and overall form - you must be a happy camper with that one Bit! I'd be interested to hear MSSmith's (or any other die hard IDer's) opinion on this one.

0 PD. Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Very nice plant there bit, a peruvian for sure.That top pic looks almost identical to T. peruvianus "rosei", an incredible blue unlike any other tricho i have seen <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bit Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 I don't own it yet, but hope to do so within the next week. Even if I don't get this tip cutting I'm sure I can convince the nursery to sell me another cutting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Teotzlcoatl Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) I'd like to see a picture of a flower.That's one insane looking Trichocereus.That might be the one... <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_huh.png Edited October 1, 2008 by Teotz' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ace Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I don't own it yet, but hope to do so within the next weekHoping that you are able to nab one Bit - it'd be great to see that in corroboree collections, even if they aren't in oz.That might be the one...Here we go again!

0 ballzac Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 That's beautiful. Spination similar to a cuzcoensis, but clearly peruvianus due to the glaucosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bit Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 I wouldn't be surprised if this was a hybrid cuzco (which this nursery has had before) and bridgesii perhaps. I will definitely inquire about the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PD. Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 You might wanna enquire about the growing conditions aswell bit, makes a hell of alot of difference. What you grow outside in sun may look a alot different to what was grown in shade or greenhouse. Could very well be a hybrid of what you say or just a hybrid like most trichos are. Fits the image of peruvi in my mind well enuff for me.Split em too much and ya end up with a pile of splinters, lots of mess and no fun ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nursery has the biggest greenhouse you'll ever see. Public aren't allowed to see in it I might have to see about becoming a member of the cactus society as I think they occasionally have tours... that's a little geekier than I want to be though....

0 PD. Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Public aren't allowed to see in itBASTARDS!!If joining a society/club will grant you access to such collections bit i think it would be a lil crazy not to join, become the cactus geek you know you really are <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I know the nursery often use auctions to guage how a plant will sell in their shop, so I hope to get out there tomorrow or the the next day to get a piece for myself! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bit Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Dammit.. the nursery won't sell me any more of it... I nearly cried. I have to holdout for more auctions over summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PD. Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 DOUBLE BASTARDS!!!I guess if it went for a crazy price on trademe they would want to keep it for future auctions on the said site. Did they have any info regarding origins/parentage bit? Man you guys have some nice plants over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man you guys have some nice plants over there.I didn't bother to ask about the source, forgot after being rejected He said they don't have much of it Sooo gutted. If I had known I would have paid the stupid price on the auction... grrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bit Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Finally!!! I won an auction for a piece of this cactus!!! I will have it in my hot lil hands some time this week. Cost me $1 per cm, which is more than I like to pay (hey I'm a bargain hunter so sue me), but it's fresh genetics for my colletion so that's ok. I'm pretty sure this was the last piece they'll be selling for a good while. Straight into the greenhouse for this one I think, keep the blue for as long as possible :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
