it was a swap from a mate, he said it was a local plant beautiful ae, i wud love to see any old trich pix

i have one of these crazy buggers, awesome as plants but they dont like direct sun so be gentle on them!

.

looks like a pacycereus pecten-aboriginum, they are cool plants but watch out for the spikes, i got one in my knuckle and it went completely blue and numb!

these are incredible, your dad must have such a steady hand and alot of patience! you must be very proud

nice, i'm pretty sure the wee guys are Chamaecereus sylvestri - they get called the peanut cactus

i could be cheeky and try send you some tiny ones, there are a few smaller than peas! probably best not to tho, hope you get lucky soon

just harvested my ulluco yesterday, will need quite a few of these wee buggers for a good feed!

hey βluntmuffin that aztekium sounds incredibly awesome, i think we are quite lucky in nz, somewhat limited but we've got a decent portion of the coolest plants here, and the really rare ones just get hidden away by secretive growers! and Ethen what a very beautiful plant! thanks for sharing!

good detective work guys! i knew there was something too blantantly different about these plants. thats pretty cool as they will mature faster having pach in the mix

tea bag turned to tea bog, then bog frog, boggit, bog, bag, wee bag, boggy, boggy woggy etc etc, i sing alot of songs about her pingu is a great name! a friend of my dads used to have a naughty dog called Fire! and it would run away lots so he would often find himself wandering the streets shouting 'FIRE! FIRE!'

what an awesome looking cat! very fluffy! i particularly liked etherealdrifter's suggestion of Tuffy MacFuffpants, but i am also a big fan of stereotypical human names for cats. i called my cat tea bag originally, then it morphed into many other imaginative nicknames. i think he/she looks like a Zeusy Poosey, maybe just Poosey if shes a she lol

hmm i thought it wasnt very flocked too, pretty cool tho, do myriostigma tricostatums do the quite distinctive downwards pointing arrow marks between the ribs when mature? i find i can always pick favourites becuase they are usually my newest additions and as i get more cool dudes they fall backwards in ranking, but thats okay becuase they were all my favourite plant at the time i brought each one wow lovely crest/mostrose, my partner has one kinda similar but its reluctant to put out montrose sections, lots of weird morphing but it always goes to crest. i'll take a pic next time i can very nice and tidy pachanoi kk339 too!

WOW! incredible stuff, well done

pretty poem from a pretty girl, what a treat

trippy! somewhat explains all those shocking singers who audition for idol thinking that they are the bomb-diggity

i love moss! i get a wee bit obsessive about it sometimes and end up walking home with huge clumps of moss and dirt in my bag and as much as i can carry in hands

the caput medusae i think is about 2-2.5 years old (thats a rough estimate) , it was a very lucky score from a grower who knew just how special they are! and the aztekium i wouldnt have a clue, as it came to us grafted already, but its a plant i doubted i would ever see for myself in new zealand, so thats pretty damn cool, surpassing our limitations already, go NZ!

here is that photo of the motherplant that our specimens came from, i have thought before that it may have been a bee cross?

lol i am just as stumped as you, i really thought it didnt look anything like a tersh either, i will try track down the motherplant photo she sent me with the plant ages ago. It was seed grown by a woman who sells plants of trademe. mutant - ha holy shit, thats pretty gung ho of him but cool! great success!

awesome!

this is a new one, using a technique i remembered from primary school - filling in the page with bright pastel colours then covering with black pastel and scraping through the dark pastel with a pen. i like to call it anti-drawing

lol how did you get nz specimens to greece ae?

do you smoke the flowers?

ha most definitely not wise yet, i am just trying to build one stone at a time , my mind into a temple in which to worship life. wrote the above on the last day of being 19, thought it was a nice send off to my teens. thanks for positive responses though, it helps me see that i'm on the right track
