Mmm, that terscheckii makes me very keen for my tiny seedlings to get a whole lot bigger. :)

That's cool. Always interesting to see a garden progressing since you hardly notice when you see your own garden every day that things do actually grow!

And your plants are looking very nice in 2011!

Out of interest were all the photos taken during the same season/month?
I walk among men as among fragments of the future: of the future which I scan.
And it is all my art and aim, to compose into one and bring together what is fragment and riddle and dreadful chance.
And how could I endure to be a man, if a man were not also poet and reader of riddles and the redeemer of chance!
To redeem the past and to transform every 'It was' into an 'I wanted it thus!' - that alone do I call redemption!

No but the "true black shoe". :lol:

Awesome pics, ferret! I dont even know where to start. The monstrose bridgesii is fascinating! Did you grew it yourself from seed or did you get it as a cutting?

these are fucking awesome, thanks for sharing

what a perfect natural setting you've made for the cacti!! how are they watered? are there lots of rains there?

Bravo man, definately inspiring!

first row, second photo, did it come as wendermanianus? it looks like it

Sweet.

I really like number 3 on the first row for some reason but they are all nice of course.

Except for knuthians! i don't want to see every single one of the ~20 knuthian clones!

Wow, beautiful photos ferret! Can you give them labels?

Especially #2, and second and third last ones and the one you posted separately in your next post.

Really good job man. You're very lucky to have such a piece of land to plant out like that.

i thought you'd like #2 but I can't remember what it was sold to me as. prier may be able to help id that one, im pretty sure I got it from the nursery he works at.

unfortunately i can't really put labels to alot of these, most were acquired simply as "Trichocereus sp.", and some of the glaucus peruvianoids are seed grown/degrafted, a couple interestingly from SAB "pachanoi" seed! alas i lost the labels to the seed grown ones long ago..

2nd last is a bridgesii of some description, that branch looks like it started off as a flower 'bud' and changed its mind and changed into a branch?? you can also see it in the background of #3

3rd last is another bridgesii type thing, heres some of its history. looked pretty unique from the getgo.

the only other one that came (and stayed) labelled is #4, SAB sourced KK339.
would anyone tell me if I were getting stupider?

I can sympathise with the lack of labelling. Would be especially difficult once they're all in the ground. Ceases to really matter anyway. if you like them, you like them.

That second last one is bizarre!

That is a beautiful collection mate! I hope you're extremely proud. Have you sown any hybrids from there yet? It'd be interesting to see what comes out. :)

A few more years and some bastard will be collecting the fallen limbs,thirty years on and they will remain as a testament to some unknown hippy.


hahA ^

Nice garden, I was sorta wondering if they were gonna grow thin in the conditions (from the first photograph) then I scrolled down and noticed there were updates. Seems like they're growing healthy and plump :D good work.
Seems like they're getting their nutes :D
