what did i do in my garden to day??? Dropped my first terscheckii into the ground,,, it out grew all my pots, and it was time to put it in the rock garden!

^^^^ NICE COLLECTION!!!

YOu happen to have 5 or 10 of them Huascax's still? A little private reserve maybe??

the only thing i would add is, becareful to not let water from rain or watering rest in the pocket created by the scar

if so, is that pretty expensive?

would you ship to the USA?

I agree there derk. i have a few shorts that get the long thin pups on them but even their pups usually end up being the little egg shaped tbm's we come to love!

I'll try that!

Anyway, thanks Getafix for sharing! Incredible collection!

not sure why i can only upload these. it says file size to big for the rest. how do i change that?

misplant's instructions are awesome! the only thing i do different is use a bunch of seedling pot for easier seperation later

i did that with a bridgesii once,,, how bad is that?

love the rosei x pc! incredible look to it!

Thats 2 votes for the huntington. Dont miss it. If youre serious about going pm me and i'll send you a pass- i have two left, so if you want one too zelly to roll with him, its yours. (can you tag people on SAB?)

i personally believe there maybe one other there gets lumped witht he tpm/ totem pole,,, that gets fuller ribs longer spines (occasionally) and never shows monstrose. its distributed by another large dist that altmans got there tpm from originally called CCC. i believe it is sold as a short spined peru. i got one by itsel and one in a pot of tpm, its pretty distinct- i refer to it as totem pole, not to same its the same as the totempole/ tpm, that others refered to on this thread.

So its been about a year since I started networking with other cacti growers, and am glad i did. I have met some incredible folks, and learned a TON of stuff. One of the most interesting dynamics of the networking tho, is meeting the ozzies! ...so 5 things I have learned in no particular order from observation: #1 Like humans, every new seedling can have a name! From Alko to Zeus, and Yowie to Bruce, these things got identity! #2 It is ok to occasionally give seeds and plants away to fellow growers and even to noobies. The generosity of the Australian growing community as a whole is refreshing. #3 its ok for men to be emotional... as long as its about cactus! There was one point back at the beginning of the year, that I was press ganged into 4 or 5 different Australian FB tricho groups. Its cool though. I dont pick sides, I just like looking at the pictures! #4 The words, 'cheers', 'mate', and 'legend' have a lot of use potential. Plus theyre fun to say! Go ahead, say it out loud... see?? #5 EVERYONE can care about cactus, even the politicians. Hey, I'd vote for this guy... Thanks for being such legends, all of you! Cheers mate!

yeah but it starts with 'Z'!!

the Huntington Botannical Gardens is a NO miss! I promise you, you'll be glad you went! If you can make it down to San Diego there are miles of cactus nurseries around the fallbrook area. have fun! edit: i believe hbg is larger then disneyland even, and the cactus garden is the whole east side of it...

thats exactly what the pic is; but i thought it was the beginning of this year

but they are both oscarxhz in that order

shhhhhh... thats your chance to order it twice! lol. maybe its two different fruits, same cross??

Got the 4 branched one from a grower in the Imperial Valley. ive assumed it was the altman's 'tru pach' which i have found before at home stores, none of mine are this big tho, nor do they look identical, neither do these two look identical. since the experts were talking about the clone that i recvd this as, i thought it would be fitting to get an opinion. i tend to agree tho with you on the 4 branched one tho, probably being the same clone which altman distributes---- which may be tpqc apparently. learned something new on this thread! my tpqc from zelly is just a crest and has yet to throw reverts btw, i got the sausage from the same guy and it has saussaged twice, and i said yes to pc as well,,, which,,, they are not.

i know all about it, but I seriously think we have some nuttier cactiphiliac here state side

so using google, everything i can find on colossus seems to be zelly's... mine doesnt look much like the pics of his at all. well im pretty sure its a trichocereus at least

i got both of these from seperate sources as 'colossus'. they look a little bit like y'all's zeus... what says the community?anyone ever heard of 'colossus'? im not even sure if these two are the same clone themselves :/
