Bunnings Raid

[Rabelais]

Great finds at my local Bunnings this week. Cleaned them out.

A mix of nearly a dozen pach, brige & scops, all $6-$8 each. Seems to be a lot more variety lately, probably a good time to keep an eye out.

Then these 2 which were a bit more expensive and larger...and which I have no idea of. The second one I assume to be just a random hybrid 'Bunning's Special' but the first one has me curious.

got to love those bunnings scores! also keep an eye out at your K-Mart and Big W gardening sections and you'll likely find a couple of bridgesi's around.

Second one is a mytilocactus geometrizans.

[Rabelais]

Excellent, thanks for replies. Both sound like good grafting material.

The second looks like Myrtillocactus

Ah, the big one that freezes in winter...I always want to buy the employees there a hot cup of coffee before I leave, they make me feel cold.

bridgesii. Close to 15cm, excellent for the price - $8 Lucky most weren't in the decorative pots.

And what I presume to be one of the scops.

Do you have PMs disabled? The envelope button doesn't appear for you but it does for everyone else.

Here's a T. peruvianus I grabbed from bunnings a few months ago. Once I removed it from the small pot it came in and put it in full sun, it's really fattened up:

Nah I'm just special

Actually I got confused with the melted wax one at home...(duh)..I can access and have too.

The Myrtillocactus I have one of,there may be more I'll be checking my lil spot and see if there's any this week I can't remember...going to maybe clip some Pedro "wasp" pups too hopefully.

Myrtillocactus:

I'll check my settings.

Awesome finds, nothing like that at the bunnings near here.

But I'll be keeping a very close eye from now on.

Also there's an amazing amount of knowledge on this site, so many minds humming.

Only wish I'd found it sooner.
