Great thread! How have I not noticed it before? Im really loving this plant at the moment! Seticereus roezlii FR301...

A few from this morning. I really should pot these guys up, I reckon they'd explode. They're over 3 years old now. Psycho0 x macro... Macro x scop... Macro x rosei#1... Rosei#1 x scop...

Running out of room in the old patch so thought I requisition the back lawn yesterday. Left a little strip of grass for doggy business. Now in need of more cactus to fill in the gaps of the old patch.

Track of the year for me!

And she's open!

Hahaha, that actually looks legit Change. I would have saved it for the first of April though. Trypsis macro about to pop!..

Quite enjoying the new (old) look. I only have one issue. I usually check the forum on my phone and with the new look I can't find anywhere to log in or search. I have to scroll to the bottom, change the theme and then log in. Not really an issue, more of a slight pain in the arse. Am I just not looking hard enough for it in the new (old) theme? Cheers.

Just posted these pics in a thread on the wanted forum but thought I'd put them here for future reference. Seems there's confusion surrounding the whole cordobensis thing. Specifically with Super Pedro and Lance. I'm certainly no expert but they seem a little different in my garden. The other plant I lump in with these two is pachanoi 'Rob'. It leans more toward Lance though and I actually can't tell them apart by looking at them. I think Super Pedro differs in the fact that the spines are a little longer and the areoles stick out a bit further. Here are my clones of these three plants. All three acquired from the sab nursery and growing next to each other for 2 or 3 years. Super Pedro... Lance... pachanoi 'Rob'... If anyone has any pics to compare or opinions I'd love to see/hear them. Cheers!

Yeah, you're likely right on the scop x pach thing DB. Probability is certainly on your side. Just throwing some wild conspiracy theories out there. Guess we can never know for sure though, seems the consensus is that super ped is some kind of scop hybrid. Could even be straight scop as well though I suppose. Damn it, someone get some bloody DNA testing done on these things! All this speculation is killing me! Also Trevyn, shame you're in USA. Plenty of these plants over here. Good luck with the hunt.

My first ever tricho flower! Words can't describe!

I wasn't aware of super pedro being an American clone. The one we have here in Australia originates from cactus country in Victoria, same place as psycho0 and the J plants. For me lance and rob both pup pretty readily from the base when the main column is relatively small, which is unusual for scops I'm led to believe. I totally agree though, both beautiful plants! And I believe it would be possible for a scop x bridgesii to be as fat as a super ped. If scop was the mother and certain offspring lent heavily towards the mothers genes. The only reason I say it is that the areoles stick out a bit and I haven't really seen that on pachs. Only bridgies. Like this... And here's super ped... Its only my observation and guess though, I'm most likely wrong. Both Bolivian but.

Yeah, I'd agree they're all scop types. I keep them labeled as what I got them as for traceability. It wouldn't surprise me if lance and rob are the same plant, maybe rob was a mislabel but I seem to recall other rob plants that look similar. I know spine length isn't reliable for id's, it's just the only other noticeable difference I can see on my lance and super ped. The main thing that makes me think they're different is the side/profile view of the ribs. It is quite straight up and down on lance but with super ped the areoles kind of stick out of the rib a bit like you see on bridgesii sometimes. That's the observations I can make on my plants anyway. Just had thought, maybe super ped is possibly a scop/bridgesii hybrid, possibly maybe? Anyway, anyone else growing both? Quite interested to see what other people think?

Woah! That's the stuff dreams are made of! Loving ya work mate!

The other one that looks a lot like these two is pachanoi 'Rob'. More so like Lance though, I have trouble telling the two apart to be honest.

Had these two growing for a couple of years. They look similar but a little different in my yard. Super Ped's areoles stick out a bit more I reckon. Super Ped... Lance...

Hello everyone, Had a mate ask me recently if I knew any sources of pereskiopsis. He was after a hundred or two. That's well beyond anyone that I know of so thought I would ask you lovely people. Let me know if you can help out. Cash or trade. Cheers!

You're not wrong about the explosive pupping Master B!...

Thanks Nrivers! This one is kinda cheating as it only came up from Vic a few weeks ago. Still, I'll take them anyway I can get them. Hah! Dood! Master B is right though, some sort of damage, not variegated unfortunately. And you're right about the height as well Master B, 160mm. I hope it's got enough energy in it to finish off the process. If it blooms mate I'll definitely send you some pollen. Cheers guys!

These two beauties opened this morning!.. Also, not quite a flower but I've been waiting years for this. My first ever tricho flower bud!..

Best idea I've seen for a comp yet! Nice work mate! I'll go December 12th.

Nice J collection up for grabs here! I'd be all over it if I didn't already have them, I still might be. http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/Trichocereus-J-Collection-J1-J2-J3-Jb-Js-/322275725110?nav=SEARCH

Thanks a lot for all the interest! Updated post with what had been spoken for. Cheers!

That Sina actually came from you man. Cheers! He's in the ground now and looking good! And all good on the payback bro. I'm in no rush, like I said, I would have been happy for it to be a gift.

I'd prefer plants rather than money to be honest mate. Hoping to get something nice for that badboy!

Woah! Less than 12 months old! I must be doing something wrong. The ones I sowed in September last year are lucky to be 5mm in diameter. They're extremely hard grown though. Kudos to the grower!
