Yeah, I've had a few crest revert once grafted, the thing is that the genetics may still be in there, i know of some people who have had lophs crest after 15 years of normal growth, so who knows! I've managed to score myself a Lophophora williamsii x Mammillaria bocasana, that has a deep fuschia flower. Reminds me a lot of Jourdaniana (further pushing the Jourd being a loph x mamm hybrid idea in my own head). Some have said that it's a lie and I was given a fake, but I've seen the mother and it was a light pink flowered willi, also it was given to me for free, so there wasn't the whole lie for profit thing going on. Anyway, I think I've been chatting to too many people who disagree here's a photo of it flowering! Also I've gotten my hands on Lophophora fricii cv. Takenaka Lizard Skin which is a tasty tasty tasty looking loph! and some normal/non-lizard skin Takenakas.... nothing here but photos! Maybe will try breeding these with some other kinds of lophs, if I stumble on any different cv's it'll make creating a new cv easier! So with a lot of these cv's they're just mutations that appear from a ridiculous amount of criss crossing among plants, pollinate a whole bunch of hand picked lophs with each other in some massive orgy and you'll end up with a whole lot of seed, sow all of those seeds and you're bound to get something a little strange, grow them and then inbreed and crossbreed heaps more and you'll slowly start get some sexy specimens. One little guy that I've managed to get passed onto was this guy who popped out of a bunch of seed from a guy that I met. Kind of looks like it's on the way to that Ooibo cv I posted before. Also after chatting with some masters around Asia, turns out (maybe specifically in Thailand) that the supposed Astro X Loph is actually just a Lophophora diffusa mutation, they've named it Lophophora diffusa cv. Urtraman. In circulation around Asia, although Super Super SUPER rare, still unsure if seed exists. Hopefully will have some crazy cv's around Aus soon!

if only i was in brisbane

I use to have a plant of this that pupped a crest, sadly died love these for the fact that nearly every pup is something different

i'm melting over those picture.....

I'm down for camp/botang meet whenever

Fuck... didn't see that, would've hoped on it!

Ouft, if only I had the cash... This'd be a 10/10 pile for next seasons grafts!

Finally ended up sowing my valdezii seeds. These two have germinated still 18 more to go

I'll be there in an hour or two with greentea

Row 6 No. 3 is Fockea edulis

Ahh wait you had specific photos you wanted my bad the H. cooperi v. obtusa could be H. springbokulakensis (or however it's spelled) but I'm not too familiar with the Haworthias.

T. brigesii monstrose, T. pachanoi monstrose, Haworthia truncata form (of some sort), Haworthia cooperi v.obtusa, Haworthia attenuata variagtata (?), Haworthia attenuata variagtata (?), Kalanchoe spp. (?), Astrophytum asterias, Obregonia denegrii, Euphorbia obesa (?), Mammilaria bocasana cv. FRED, _______________, Obregonia denegrii, Ariocarpus fissuratus, Haworthia cooperi v.obtusa, Astrophytum myriostygma (some kind of form), ________________, __________________, Euphorbia obesa (?), Copiapoa hypogea, Astrophytum Hybrid (asterias x senilis aureum(?)), _____________, Psuedolithos spp./Hydnophytum spp. (?), Gasteria batesiana (?), Aloe spp. (?), Psuedolithos migiurtinus, Lophophora williamsii

lol, too hard to find especially in aus!

Ah fuck,,.... forgot....

Better pictures of another cutting from the same plant. I don't think it's a PC pachanoi at all, although doubting a little that it's corbodensis...

i'll be there... hopefully

I'm pretty sure it's a Myrtillocactus as well. They seem to pop up with an occasional areole and the pups I have seem to have a few areole's.

ouft! I've wanted a T. shaferi monstrose for quite a while! I'm glad to see that the true monstrose myrtillo's stay spineless! Can't wait for mine to get bigger!

hi, i am sabry, and this is my penis.. kind of...

let me know if something happening saturday night. can't attend the actual event but i'll be the sunday meet
