  1. So what has become of these pups? White, green?

    I was also going to suggest that is might beTrichocereus brevispinulosus, but I buy your explanation EG. I wonder though if solak's plant and "T. brevispinulosus" might then be hybrids? All pictures of T. purpureopilosus that I have seen are of short clumping cacti, but all of the "T. brevispinulosus" I have seen are taller columnar cacti. (When I say "seen" I mean photos online, not in person) Thoughts?


  2. Thanks for the welcomes :P

    Amazonian - I'm a fan of the Lophs as well, unfortunately I can't grow them here. Well I guess technically I can grow some of them, but the laws are kinda grey and I'd rather not push my luck. But man the variety of forms I have seen come from countries where people can grow em blows my mind.

    Space cadet 101 - I'm sure they can be acclimated to full sun, but the sun is pretty intense where I live. I actually bought a cheap "greenhouse" (it is more of a fancy hoophouse) this spring to help acclimate my plants from indoor to out door conditions, having burnt some in the past. Everything seemed so happy in the green house that I just decided to leave them there.

  3. I do have one that is huge compared to the rest, it is the one on the left in the first pic (also pics 11 and 12). It is maybe 2 1/2 inches in diameter. I'll try and take some more photos of it and include some sort of scale. I don't know much about it as I picked it up from a nursery, but I suspect it to be something different form the usual A/B selections. Perhaps it is a true "long-joint"? (I don't like using clone "A" or "B" because I have seen them used interchangeably for both types by different folks leading to confusion over which is which). I recently acquired a "long-joint" clone from a dealer who grows both. It is pretty thin and tall, but does not seem etiolated, leading be to believe there is a "giant" clone going around also. Bridgesii's are supposedly quite prone to producing monstrose seedlings, so there may in fact be hundreds of unique TBMs, some more commonly cloned than others.


  4. Thanks tipz!

    The crested is one of my faves too. I have only seen them a few times, and they go for astronomical amounts of $$. I found this one for a relatively decent price, so I snatched it up. Still wasn't cheap though.


  5. Hi all. I'm pretty new here and need to get my post count up so I can fully participate, so I thought I'd share some of my TBM collection with yall. Most of my collection is of the "short-jointed" variety. I have seen enough variation that I suspect the clone "A" "B" and "melted wax" designations to be inadequate. Any way, on with the show...
