    thanks for the links kindness =] i did send flora a pm about his giveaway (i already got the two bridgesii's in the last picture off him), but as i understand he is having computer troubles atm so we wil just see what happens with that

    oh and did i say "i" was growing the loph's? what i meant was my friend (dont know her name) is - she keeps asking me to ask advice for her :innocent_n: i just have the grafting stock she may wish to experiment with

    yea, i thought that would be the case. my seeds havnt even germinated yet, so i have plenty of time to get some peres cuttings and get them going. i have tons of hylocereus around the place too, so that would be good to try too.

    i think if i did the horizontal thing it wouldnt necessarily be for grafting purposes - i just like the look of cacti with lots of branches. although a graft-tree would look pretty cool :)

    Fair enough. Iv heard that - i just wanted to practice on something i already have. Ill keep an eye out for some pereskiopsis though (iv been meaning to get some anyway). Im also waiting for a selinecereus to get here - i hear that works quite well too. Anyone know about that?

    Another question (sorry i just dont really want to start another thread)... If i was to get a 25ish cm chunk of cacti (probably a peruvian) and lay it on its side would it be more productive then standing it upright? I know doing it that way often causes several pups to come up, but would a peice that size be alright?

    Thanks for the replies everyone - its getting there. When my tax comes back ill be expanding the collection, so ill be sure to post more pictures. I also have some seeds starting at the moment which should start popping up soon. A couple of bridgesii seeds that i got from Dr Uarewhatueat (from england - itll be interesting to see how they turn out later) on the shroomery have started to grow already though.

    Also im planning on attempting some grafting for the first time when my loph seeds sprout and grow up a bit. Would one of those scops be good to practice on? And how long should i wait to graft?

    Nice =] thanks

    i think you are right about all of them. i wonder what species of gymnocalycium i have... there are quite a few, and most of the ones i looked at looked vaguely like it, but the spines were huge compared to what i have (which is kinda like little bristles). The one in the second picture almost looks more like the ones i saw (i only did a quick search though).

    all the non-ticho ones (plus T Candicans) are in a new pot all together now, with some bigish rocks and river pebbles on top - it looks awesome (if do say so myself :P ) and they have heaps of space to grow bigger

    Last but not least - The Chode :P this fella is growing surprisingly fast too

    This is most of my collection so far, but im slowly building it up. i have some seeds that have started as well. more to come in the not too distant future

    All the pictures were taken on my iphone, and turned out surprisingly good - let me know what you all think =]

    ps can someone please tell me how to make my pictures thumbnails?

    Im pretty sure this is a scop, or a hybrid of similar species maybe

    Not sure what this one is - looks pretty interesting though. anyone know?

    I'v been told these are scops, they grow really fast - they were the size of the first picture when i got them a few months ago

    gallery_6534_332_200770.jpg

    This is the pot most of my smaller trichocereus are living in for a while. The empty space in the middle is for an eileen pup someone sent me that im trying to get to grow roots at the moment. the tiny cutting on the right is a bridgesii tip a friend gave me - i like it because unlike the others (which have thickish spikes in clusters), this one has tiny hypodermics poking out of it and they are singular instead of clusters. there is an icaro 'peruvian' from the webstore here and a and a psycho0xsuper pedro hidden behind the scop (the super pedro x has already put out 2 new sets of spines since i got it like 2 weeks ago - also from SAB)

    the succulent you can see in a lot of these pictures is Kanna - its really great stuff and really easy to grow from cuttings. a lot of mine flowered within a month of putting it in the ground

    Not really babies, but these are some 4 year old seed grown bridgesii a member here sent me

    Cacti! Im looking for a bridgesii monstrose and some pachanoi (rooted if possible).

    Let me know if you are interested in selling some. For the pachanoi i am particularly interested in biggish specimens (~30-45cm)

    Thanks all

    Hmmm ill update you more when i get home, but i have some bridgesii seeds, lots of datura seeds (purple swirl metal and stramonium), some newly rooted sceletium tortuosum cuttings, psychotria leaves (to make leaf cuttings or a couple that are rooted already - but havnt formed a shoot yet). Im also rooting a white brugmansia cutting currently. Spore prints (cubes), and also money. I may have some other things i can trade which ill check up on when i get home

    Hey guys, iv been a member for a little while but this is my first post here (some may know me from the shroomery).

    Id like to buy or trade for some interesting ethno's or bigish cacti cuttings

    ethnos im mainly interested in are:

    khat

    b. Caapi

    dmt containing plants

    nice brugmansias

    anything else thats interesting to grow (not really looking for seeds though)

    as i mentioned before im also after a biggish piece (or a couple of peices if its easier to post) of a san pedro (related) cactus.

    I can buy things or i may have something to trade (cuttings, seeds, potted plants even). I cant seem to access my profile from this computer so just put responses in the thread, otherwise i probably wont get them.

    Thanks everyone
