Seed grown bridgesii , 3,5 y.o. , only a pup was removed from it much earlier.
I haven't named it yet something particular.



Some of my ferocacti. several of those I had have gone to the ground. Once I have seen how they do in the ground in a sunny spot, I cannot constrain them in a pot for two much!



Acacia accuminata! this is the first acacia I seemingly will reach to maturity! thanks to ferret for the seed.



Acacia maidenii from a different source, I got this mature, in bad shape, it went it through fine in the roof, if you consider the winter was relatively harsh

Well fuck me that's a lot of pleasure for the eye there!

what age did you start your collection?

[Stillman]

Very nice collection, I like the Loph barrel echinopsis grafts you don't see that everyday.
That Gymno cross loph is the shizel. I would love seeds if it sets any one day PLEASE..

[space cadet swami]

[myco]

[GoOnThen]

It is great to see you back posting again Mutant

It looks like you have been busy propagating and adding to your collection.

I always look forward to you posting your collection pics

Cheers
Got

[mutant]

thanks guys!

it's a gymno X not a gymno X lopho, that would be wild.

and oh, the cactus passion started 4 years ago.

[Ambient Forest]

Awesome collection man, again loving the crested pachs & monstrose Myrt, even bigger than last I looked

[CβL]

Thanks for those photos mutant.

Gotta laugh at what I think is a Selenicereus/hylo crossing over the two pots! hahaha :D

[mutant]

^^^

lol ,yeah, a selinicereus. I dont know what I was trying to do, but I love the idea of a single plant growing in two pots

I think I will try selinicereus hydroponics this year.

[tedzr]

Fantastic balcony garden you have mutant. Seems to be getting closer to a nursery really ;) Plenty of stuff I've never seen and the Greek succulent pot definitely caught my eye, very tasteful. Was that fat lopho was grown from a single aerole in a year? I think I remember an aerole thread a while back.. amazing.

[incognito]

Hardcore cacti porn there mutant!

[interbeing]

Beautiful collection Mutant, loving the Pachycereus and Stretsonia coryne

[mutant]

thank you guys means a lot, y'know...

yep that areole lopho graft amazed me too! the leuchtenbergia areole graft didnt go bad either. still waiting for the other two to grow! [leucht-areol]
