Had a great day at the meet, got to put a few faces to the user names. To everyone I didnt get to meet I will see ya at the next meet! Thanks Ronny for organising a great day at the gardens!

Here is a pic of my friends 7 year old loph with a few pups http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp163/s...01/IMG_7001.jpg

Nice score! I will have to post some pics of the 2 TBM's that I have they both look totally different. This TBM has small pups got this as a cutting off a friend a while ago. she is shooting out 5 pups. http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp163/s...01/IMG_7008.jpg This one has huge pups, seed grown, bought it off a friend. http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp163/s...01/IMG_7009.jpg EDIT: for pics

Thanks for all the info guys and Zelly your collections is great thanks for sharing the great pics. I have a few more photos I will add to this thread later tonight just wanna see what everyone thinks of my buddys 7 year old lophs that has 3 pups popin out of it. I have heard so may different explainations from many different people about how to know what is just a regular loph and what is a caes. Some people have told me that a regular williamsii will pup sooner if it is a cutting rather than a seed grown one. It can all be a bit confusing sometimes

I got monday off so Im sweet!

Thanks heaps for the pics and info Zelly nice collection. Great pics of some great plants How old is the caes in the 20 cm pot? Are you in Australia Zelly? EDIT: Wanted to ask zelly if he is in oz

Post a pic if you can when it does, my pedro looks like it is going to flower to soon I will post pics when it does.

Cant wait to see the pics Zelly, If anyone else has lophs that have a massive head and many pups please post.

Thanks for the ID guys.

Nice cut C.T looks super healthy. Good pics

Great pics Zelly! how old are you ariocarpus they all look to be a nice size. I like the time lapse Bit and the pic of the Scop flower, they look simmilar to alot of the other tricho flowers. Very attractive flowers.

Hi all, I have had this cactus for a while and i am not sure of the id it was given to me as a gift a few years ago. look a bit ike a spanch with bigger spikes at the top. http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp163/s...01/IMG_6978.jpg

Great pics daylight very nice flowers and collection. Nice size plants. I will try cross some teotz and see how I go. Not sure what clolour my flower is gonna be will have to wait and see as it is its first time flowering. should be interesting.

I wouldnt mind one of these myself espically an Ariocarpus fissuratus. Very slow grow but a great addition to the collection. I have heard they arent cheap and can be hard to graft.

Yeah it is a weird looking cactus and it has pups popin out from all angles. It has never flowered either and I have had it for years. bit of a slow grower aswell.

Yeah very big buds. Havent seen this one flower yet so it should be interesting to see how the flower turns out. Big buds are always good

Im there, will have a freebie or 2 aswell

I went to a freinds place today and on the way their I found a guy that has heaps of cacti. So naturally I asked him if I could get a few cuttings if I paid him. He didnt know much about cactus and I am a bit unsure on the id of some of them. Few look like peruvianus not sure if they are crossed with anything, one super pedro and 2 bridges. i also got what I think is a pedro monstrose. These all came off huge mother plants. Id please http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp163/s...01/IMG_6890.jpg I think Pedro monstrose http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp163/s...01/IMG_6897.jpg

Thanks Incognito. Yeah I think Phos has some anger management issues he needs to deal with.

Thanks for the ID Ace and Teotz.

EDIT:

No problem Phos all sorted.

I paid a fair price for them, I am probably gonna sell or trade a cutting or two so I dont really wanna say how much I got them for. They wernt cheap if thats what your asking. I am gonna get more soon. I will get pics of the cactus farm next time.

They are from 2 different plants. 1 of the cuttings spilt in half cause the guy dropped it. and the other top cutting is off another plant. Nice and blue!!!

I recently have received some of the above cacti from a friend who got them off a cactus farmer. I received 2 Cuttings, that are very healthly. I thought they were T.Preuvianus but upon asking my local expert he told me that they are most likely a hybrid of T.B and T.P. They are a little blue and have massive spikes like bridgesii monstrose. They look more like a T.Preuvianus but not as blue as the true blue. These are beautyful looking cacti that have just rooted themselves in winter after a few weeks of being in perlite. Does anyone else have this particular cactus? I would like to hear what people have to say about this hybrid? No pics sorry guys I have tried and failed to load a pics as the site telles me I didnt select a file to upload when I did. Sorry
