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.

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.

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?

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!

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!..

Gday fellow cactus fiends.
I have a few trichos that I'm tentatively testing the waters of trade offers for.
Mainly looking for tacaquirensis/taquimbalensis/werdermannianus or chilensis or even some nice perus/pachs that I may not have. Maybe even astros or arios. Haha, anything nice really.
Will be cut to order, let me know if you're interested. Aus only please.
Also, I apologise in advance if I'm fussy with offers or slow to reply.
Cheers!

1 hour ago, zelly said:
really? (the grower may want a bit more for the monstrous ones) according to the grower, these are seed grown & the seeds were sown on 4-10-15.........
the grower said they'd only sell by the potful so which ones ya want??
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!

I'll take them please HolographicYou!
Cheers! Really keen on the phleb seeds!
I'll re-offer the courtii plants and also add in various tricho seeds, a couple of pups and what ever other bits and pieces I have lying around.
Will update the post when I get home with what I have available.
Thanks!
Edit: Ok, so along with the two courtii plants I have some pc pach x bb's scop seeds, pc pach x goliath seeds, secret garden mix tricho seeds, A. acuminata seeds, M. hostilis seeds, N. tabacum seeds and I. purpurea seeds to offer and these two pups...
bridgesii 'Andrew' and pachanoi 'Justin'.
Cheers!
What did you do to your cacti today?
in Cacti & Succulents
Posted
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.
