    title is fine man, its got 'day' in it, so we can post every day in this thread. i got a fields chilli Psyentist, yours is bigger than mine, nice plant that one. can't recall if there are a few plants there, mine looks a bit different to yours, maybe growing conditions etc..... This pachanoi is one of my faves worked out the sideways pic thing, solution is - use desktop and not tablet.

    S.G Pod 2 Photo Thread

    good onya for starting this thread Solomon a pic of my Pod 2 seedlings, sown December 2016 I've tried seedling to pere grafts numerous times and I just can't get it so I wait till seedlings are big enough and then impale them on pere that I've sharpened to a point, these are obviously way to small to do that with yet though.

    SS SA Tersheckii not?

    Prob tentatively calling both tip 1 and tip 2 Validus (ish) for the moment.......
  20. spooge

    SS SA Tersheckii not?

    SA ss Validus +1 the Fields Validus were not imported, they were seed grown the place with the ss terschekii has plants that are as old as Fields and maybe Dawson's?? does any one know if the Dawson's plants were seed grown or imported?
  21. Nice chilensis plants Zed are these from the same place as the SA ss or are they from a different plant or plants?

    eBay/Gumtree finds

    I've a 30cm pachycereus pringeli, seed grown, that's lived here going on 2 years now. Shes potted, outside in the elements and has done fine through the winters so far, more spikey than this biggun is so I presume this big one will do fine here Micromegas, thanks for the reassurance but, be very sad to kill the plant. i do have trouble with some forms of pilocereus and azurocereus hertlingianus sure don't like the hail we get here. Thanks Nrivers, the plant would look very nice in your wonderful garden also. i got her for 300 and some trade plants. The person selling the plant has a cactus shop in a town bout 25 mins from where I am, some nice plants there, not many trichs but, lots of ornamentals and some nice pillars.

    SS SA Tersheckii not?

    I heard the same story from a guy that went to the garden before me. The owner of the garden was reluctant to let tip 1 and tip 2 go. The ss is about 20 meters from where tip 1 and tip 2 were growing, both areas get full sun. Theres 3 or 4 different cactus plants growing with the ss, a chance then maybe tip 1 and tip 2 were a different plant growing amongst them all. The areoles on the huge ss plant at the property are uniform from the base of the plant to the tips, no areole or spine difference at all. The areoles of the ss and the two tips are different I think. Ive had the ss in my garden for a few years now, originally from the eBay seller, looks nothing like these 2 new tips to me. The 2 new tips are much more Validus like than any terschekii I've got or that I've seen at Dawson's. crossed the ss with yowie last season, repotted the seedlings a few days ago.
