Trichocereus id please

[Trichocereus id please]

Beautiful... Would need some size comparison to really through a guess... is it a terscheckii at its left?

I would say a hybrid... throwing a hard guess .... maybe 'Validus' x cuzcoensis ?

[2xclumpers ID]

1. This looks a bit like a larger specimen someone recently posted for ID. My guess would be Sulcorebutia or Rebutia, but the wool has me thinking...

2. This is beautiful and with smallish/weak root system.. not flowered yet... could it be a mammilaria or could it be something else? It is notably purple, only when growing it shows its dark greek at the tips..

[2x Echinopsis/Trichocereus ID]

1. Echinopsis, this used to have a tag, I might find it if I search... I saw a bud on it today...

2. no idea... could be echinopsis, but it could also be a tricho, maybe a chilensis or a pale blondie pasacana?

[Columnar ID (Myrtillocactus?)]

very blue

Myrtillocactus sp? and if yeah what sp?

any guesses are useful at this point...

[Monsters/crest for identification]

1. Cereus sp. came as "aetiopica" , I think its C. aethiops

2. Clone of nursery origin and of unknow genus / species, according to cactusart

its mostly sold as Azureocereus sp. and its obviously a crest of a largish columnar

Any ideas?

[What did you do to your cacti today?]

I would say neither polaskia cipcipe nor pachycereus marginatus, but wetness is a tricky thing.. maybe post again dry in the ID thread

you repotted your female nephew??

you're probably the only person on the planet with a female nephew......

btw, do you have any male nieces?

lol

[Carvings of mine]

make a leaf out of it!

[Show off your freaks]

yeah its a good price and actually all forms are coming from the same clone, so....

[Show off your freaks]

I dont have these plants long enough to claim I have an experience.

but I have both a crest and a spiral for a year or so

I dont think your man was very accurate in what he said

crest is also supposed to be a rare formation..

there are 4 forms

spiral

disc-shape

crest

normal monstrosa

the normal monstrosa is by far the commonest according to cactus art..

[ID request - Trichocereus - possibly chilensis?]

EG you have officially chaotized the thread, by changing your mind for the OP

I find it funny this is about IDing a cactus in bad shape which we are not sure if its still alive

[Mammilaria identification thread]

I dont understand what's the confusion

[fat cactus]

[edit out]

I thought it might be horridus after all but no

[Mammilaria identification thread]

there seem to be 3-4 strains or expressions of fred, crest being one of them.. check out cactus art site

Snowfella what awesome suggestions! I am quite sure you missed 5, but other wise, very good, thanks...

bombycina, elongata , bosacana (4) are spot on... again, thanks!!

[Lophophora diffusa kikko????]

no its not uncommon, especially in the form of upsize's 1st pic.. I have seen this in my specimens...

that's how I did the areole graft after all, I cut a "tit"

[Show off your freaks]

awesome ! your eulychnia's new shoot seems to start doing the spiral thing: its supposed to be one of the rarest expressions of the plant

[Ferocactus sp. # very wide spine, redish spines + hair]

Thanks

It seems there are several species with wide, stripped central ... I have grown latispinus in the past.. It seems to have the widest spine of them all, even though not as wide as in mine. WIll stick with latispinus (?) for now, it should bloom soon enough if its that...

[ID request - Trichocereus - possibly chilensis?]

Hmmm

Zeds "pasacana" seems like and intermediate between "validus" (most spines downward) and terscheckii, given "validus" seems to exist in oz. But the almost tuberculate , wavy rib appearance perhaps also indicates chilensis (?)

MM "pasacana" seems more like a pasacana , seeing how it also lacks the tubercled pheno. Just my thought though

the book is

"500 cacti: species and varieties in cultivation" (preston)

[Ferocactus sp. # very wide spine, redish spines + hair]

this is one of my favourites, but it hasn't been well some time... obnviously should pamper this more

any idea for what species could be related with extra wide spine, maybe half a cm at the base ?

PS: NO HAIR , wrong title... this is not from the hairy cluster it seems...

[Lophophora diffusa kikko????]

the last one seems to be the real deal /// made me think... tbc

[Lophophora diffusa kikko????]

I got 2 diffusas and they're very roundish... dunno , seems too titty , for a non-grafted plant...

grow it out and update ;)

[Mammilaria identification thread]

I am in a cacti mood this year, and I would be happy to name some of my flowering mammis.

BUT

feel free to discuss anything involving mammilaria species identification, or put up your own specimens for questioning...

===

1 . reddish spines, clumper, clumping even from higher than the base, whitish flower

2. like previous, but with hooked, darker coloured spines

3.

4.

5.

6. slower grower, comb like spines

PS:

I will get on those IDs soon enough, but I would love to discuss your thought about all this... the whole genus, and whatever ...

[Mandrake cultivation discussion]

I wish I could make something with the pulp of of the fruits...

thinking of perfume... where is that austrian dude ? [have drank beers today, yeah, my nephwe left, what do you want?]

[Nitrogen´s Connoisseur hybrids - pics and seed giveaway]

this is for the dudes that say I rule...as a grafter , as a grower... I am lazy as fuck ... duuuudes...

my favourite thing is cloning... ok , i am lying I like many things

this is an "anus" -like termination, if we have to call it something...

its interestering in that I have come across this growing mature pachanoi monsters

lol

for your information, I still got seed, and I was thinking of doing a giveaway for SAB anywayz

so I could send some to some dude that didnt receive this in the first place...

it should be fresh enough

this is more like a two head or crest

[Show off your freaks]

[What did you do to your cacti today?]

that time of year: BRIGHT LINE
