The only problem with a wounded galah is that the other galahs wont leave it until it is dead. In the end though, its a galah that has been hit by a car, its gon happen, they are nutters lol. Saying there is huge numbers of them dont make it any easier for some ppl, if an animal is suffering, it is suffering. Most galahs that get hit by a car dont survive which i think is due to their small size like you mentioned BM....... they do taste good though.
As for tawnies, i dunno what it is about them, they dont seem solidly built or super strong but i have hit a couple with the the car and they are fine after it. One i must have shocked a bit so i picked him up and put him on the back floor of the car but as soon as the door opened up 5 mins later he flew out, the other one flew off before i could get too close.
Seeing a hit or hitting the odd galah doesnt move me much at all to be honest but i do hate seeing huge goannas and dragons etc dead on the road, especially when the goanna is a 2mtr local (with feet the size of your hands) on the side of the road and its blindingly obvious that a driver has reversed up and dropped the clutch right on top of the dying goanna. Most ppl around here still swerve to kill snakes on the road!

I wonder if "Rod" PD mentioned is "Rob" from Sab.Nah Rod is a clone from interbieng different to all others i have, vigorous pupping.
Jess is different to bruce although i initially thought them very similar i now see the differences.
"Tig" [also SAB] is another bridgesii, probably the largest /fattest I got. From descriptions, it looks as if it resembles PsychO. Maybe it's the same?Not the same as psycho0 from what i have seen.
Just got a 4-ribbed bridgesiIts just a cool tricho trait that displays itself more often with bridgies ime. I have a 4 ribbed bruce, psycho0, essendon and glenrowan, prolly a couple others if i had a good look. I was surprised to see psycho0 go four ribs though.
Someone should do a poll as to how many people on SAB have Eileen.Ya should do that but include other clones also, it would be interesting to see tha results

Uncle Sam grabbed America's hand and whispered something in her ear for the first time in a long whileIts a pity it was all chinese whispers and bullshit but i guess saying there was no WMDs, al qaeda is really a made up list and the twin towers (plus #7) werent brought down by crazed terrorists is like saying the sun doesnt shine to an american.

Well in the news segment all it said was its a trial and there is no ban just a polite, can you please remove your hood. The way i see it, if im asked to remove my hood in a shop i would have no problems doing so depending on how i was asked of course but i wouldnt take off my hoodie altogether, that said, i dont find it comfortable to wear my hood up generally unless its really cold but usually i have my beanie on anyways lol. More often than not (depending on how feral my hair is or if i have any at the time) i will take off my beanie when going into a shop as it used to be common courtesy to remove your hat when indoors but i guess that "common courtesy" is seen as old fashioned or a waste of time these days. Sometimes i will leave it on if im only rushing in and out but ya gotta remember, it is a hell of a lot colder in Vic than it is in sunny Queensland.
All in all though, this idea seems a tad retarded and i doubt it will get much further than the trial, if someone wants some coin and they plan on taking it from your cash register then a ban on hoodies and beanies isnt gon do jack shit. "Please remove your hood sir", "Hows get fucked sound and whilst ya busy gettn fucked, how about you please remove the cash from the register and fill this beanie sir"
With some ppl, it is better if the beanie is left on, god knows how long it has been on there or what is hiding under it!

They look happy as
Is that a lil ferocactus or mamm or something in there as well?? In the first pic it is at the very bottom

but not sure what fertilizer to use? just seasol and regular fertilizer?any general purpose fert will suffice, i use miracle grow (cheap as chips) on everything just dont go overboard. If the plant is suffering and undernourished a good dose of eco-amino-grow and or root excelurator before heavy ferts is an idea. They are pretty tough plants though, yours should bounce back no worries once the warmer weather starts.

I stood there naked.What is it with you and gettin ya gear off mate? Not that i have anything against it but in the company of such figures i would assume that clothing be appropriate. You mind ticks in a beautiful way my friend.

Absolutely beautiful micro! Thanks for sharing.
I must second fez and trip though, wheres the seed lol
-
Thank you very much everyone -
I use toilet paper and packing tape to graft, never fails me
If the core "sinks" just after i have grafted it is usually due to one reason, not enough water. Make sure your stock is WELL watered before you graft and the core of the stock shouldnt sink, thats ime anyways.
with the sinking i think the closer to the tip or younger the stock helps (less woody material tends to heal smoother & cleaner)I generally use etoliated tips i have cut and rooted, best stock ya can get.
-
Im sure if you grafted the first crest and gave it some more intense light it would show heavier spination and give a better indication of what tricho it is, or an areole graft or the regrowth from where you chop it..... either way youll find out in due course.
The second crest looks a lil different to a tricho, only way to be sure is do as above lol.
-
Tripsis is on the money.
A nice plant imo, a slow grower from what i have seen, my one seems to get a lil rot if too moist in winter though it is in the ground, semi shaded. Im sure in a better position it could grow a little faster but it doesnt seem to have the same vigour as the trichos next to it.

Thanks for pointing that out GoT, i had noticed this thread pop up (plus the numerous PMs) but hadnt got around to posting here. I MIGHT get out and sort thru the seedlings i have and make a new thread today but it will not be the same stock as what is listed above of course.

Some clones are named ppl just to keep track of them in their own collection, i and i assume many others have plants in their collections that are named for no other reason than this therefore being a named clone does not always imply there is something special about it.
Anyways, in MY collection i have the following -
Psycho0, T. bridgesii, Clone originates from Cactus country victoria. Named Psycho0 by sab member incognito in memory of his friend and sab member Psycho0. In my collection is the fastest growing tricho, flowers easily, i have used it a lot in hybridisation.
Yowie, T. pachanoi. Clone originates in Yarrawonga Victoria although other large plants of the same type are found throughout Au as it is easily identified due to its distinct double downward pointing spines. I was directed to the mother plant of this clone by sab member Marsha, previously known as Yowie. This clone is also in the Fields collection and is one of the plants imported from South America.
Super pedro aka lance aka cordobensis, T. scop or pachanoid, Clone originates from cactus country victoria, is said to be fairly common in SAust also. Named super pedro by owner of cactus country due to its size and growth.
Eileen, T bridgesii, originates from colac victoria. Named after sab member reshroomED's mother. Clone prized by many ppl as a fast growing, disease resistant and beautiful
Bruce, T bridgesii, originates from South Australia, im not sure on the naming of this one but im sure one of the SA crew will know more. For me this clone shape shifts or "melts" quiet a bit, is a very nice clone due to this imo.
J1, J2, J3, JB, The first three of these plants are hard to ID with any certainty, J1 is a large peruvianoid or sorts, J2 seems pachanoid and J3 peruvianoid, Jb is a bridgesii closely resembling Eileen. All 4 clones hail from cactus country Victoria. I named these clones as to keep track of them in the collection and due to the fact i had used them in hybridisation and a name is needed for the parent plants.
Bogan, T. macrogonus?, originates from Tasmania. Mother plant was discovered by sab member Dug and later on rescued from "bogans" who were trying to burn it to dispose of it, hence the name. For me is a slower growing tricho yet a very striking plant visually, very different spines on it.
Rosei #1 & 2, T. peruvianus, originates from Fields cactus collection Victoria. Rosei was once a name given to Trichocereus peruvianus as to save confusion with cereus peruvianus and it was obviously in use when Fields recieved the cuttings from South America and the name Rosei is still used by his son. Rosei1 has much shorter spines than rosei2 and is often more blue, it is one of the most beautiful trichos here in Au i believe although the up and coming icaro seedling army will put more blue into the aussie tricho scene.
MBN95 aka Super bridge, T. bridgesii, originates from Magic botanicals nursery, now defunct im pretty sure (Im not sure if that name is correct, anyone know for sure??) This clone to me is very similar to bruce, it morphs and melts a lot but doesnt seem to grow as fast for me as bruce does though this could be due to the position in the garden i have the plants.
Sausage plant, T. pachanoid OR macrogonus (depends who you ask) Originates in South Aust although there is a large "clump" of it at Fields and is said to be on of the imports from St Am. Named due to its growth habits, it self terminates at the tip an usually pups from the terminated tip giving a sausage type look to it.
Now some in my collection, a few others have these clones also -
Essendon, T. bridgesii, I found this plant at Essendon nursery Melbourne Vic. Is a seed grown plant, often throws 4 ribbed branches. I named this plant to keep track of it in the collection, the story behind its discovery was another reason fro keeping track of it ;)
Crazy spine, T. bridgesoid, Plant was found in a large planting of "Psycho0" at cactus country Victoria, as afar as we could see it was a seedling that sprouted up in amongst the psycho0 so obviously a hybrid thereof. As the name implies it has very different spines which are often curved and bent
Glenrowan, T. bridgesii, originates from private collection Glenrowan victoria. Is probably my favourite bridgie, grows short spines to almost spineless.
Short spined bridgesii, T bridgesoid. This plant was found growing along side "crazy spine" so again obviously a psycho0 hybrid. Resembles a bridgesii but has very short, thick spines, has a growth rate close to psycho0. Originally it was thought that this plant was a branch of psycho0 that had short spines, a sport. On further investigation, ie, i had a good look
I saw that the plant wasnt growing out of the psycho0 branch it was coming from underneath even though it looked connected. The only explanation was a seedling from fallen fruit.Bendigo, T. bridgesii, originates from Bendigo Victoria. 2 huge old plants growing in the front yard of an old house in bendigo, similar looking to bruce although it doesnt disply the morphing that bruce does
Rod, T. pachanoi, Not sure on the origins of this one, i recieved it from sab member interbeing. Very fast growing pachanoi from what i have seen, my plant is small atm but im sure ill have lots in a short amount of time due to its growth rate, interesting clone.
Im sure there are some more, just dont have the time atm, busy busy. Will try add some more to this later on.

I have tidied up this thread a lil bit, guys can you please stay within the forum guidelines, bretloth, if you arent familiar with the cacti forum rules have a look in the pinned threads, same goes for anyone else that has forgotten or isnt aware of them!.
As for favourites, is hard to say for sure but i do love my tricho crests, i have a "peruvianus" crest from hamiltons and 2 super pedro x j3 crests, all 3 have been grafted a few times. Since grafting and a little stronger light the hamiltons crest is showing spines more in line with a cuzco type plant imo. Im also quiet partial to lophs and tbms
The 2 SPxJ3 mother crests are the left and right front, one has been cut into a great deal more than the other, the grafts in the purple pots are from the crest on the left and the other 3 smaller crests are from the one on the right. I have others from the crest on the rights but they are showing more normal growth which will hopefully change in time, hard to say at this stage. The 3 large ones at the back are from the hamiltons peru.
Hamiltons peru.
some other stuff.......

My mates mum has had this plant for some time but she wanted it removed so i got it. It has had me puzzled for some time as originally i thought it to be a small barrell shaped echinopsis of sorts but it kept getting taller and taller. It throws a fair amount of pups usually at the tip and is FAT as you can see by the regular sized pach cutting next to it in the picture.
I cannot recall what colour the flower is but from memory it is like most other echinopsis flowers in shape and size, ie, a skinny version of a tricho flower.... anyways, anyone got any ideas????
btw, the lil pinkish bean looking things on some of the spines are just succulent leaves my mates kids stuck on it.
Even a Trich?

I reckon another season or two and some good conditions and you will be looking at a bridgie wondering what was so confusing about it lol. Wouldnt surprise me if it has that melty look when older, dropping ribs and stuff all over the place.
