    T. lophophoroides with fruit forming next to flower from about 4 months ago. I think its the one I jammed in a L. texana first, so does anyone know if T.lophophoroides is self-fertile or not? most evidence suggests yes i think :(

    not too mention a period of dormancy with pere as stock is essential if you are fertilizing and feeding heavy, if you want to avoid mutated scions, and if you try and pump the growth continually on pere with lights and fertz, you will split scions, but this can result in multi headed examples of many genus/species, which can be great if your trying to acquire more graft-able scions.

    EDIT: just keep the sulpur handy for when your grafts start splitting and throwing pups like crazy on pere ( i use tomato dust)

    Overwintering shitloads of pere in my greenhouse. Would love the chance to graft some more lophos and get rid of some pere.....If your not keen I can send some stock(pere) to the guys below for them to help you out with this one.

    Myco,Tipz, GoOnThen, Gilligan, CactusCarl, Stillman, DarkSpark - These guys along with watertrade of course (Sorry all the pro grafters i forgot), should all be lurking somehwere THC....all worth tracking down for this mission. Reliable and trustworthy and vouch them all.

    Everything I can find says L. ziegleri (werdermann) is an out of date name & now a synonym of L. diffua. Dr Werdermann described it as having yellow/white flowers.

    What I knew to be true!

    L difusa var koehresii was classified to honor its discoverer, Mr. Gerhard Kohres, a renowned cactus seed trader. As a new taxon, it was discovered by Gerhard Kohres along with Professor Schreier in 1975.

    Zelly man, I always though it was straight L.koehresii ? :scratchhead: Whats the go with difusa and koehresii in terms of fertility?

    Jox.....saw your alberto aquissition the other day. What a sight to behold. I'm coming for a visit to yours as soon as it arrives, so i may view it, and scar the image into my spank bank :worship:

    Hey THC. What an absolutely thourough and awesome collection & great price.
    I am the first one to put my hand up madly, but like others, am also inquisitive to see photos, as if you can be as thorough as possible, I have no doubt you have just become the corroboree's new source of loph seed.

    I can't see an issue with offering them direct here, as you offer large enough sales, that if Torsten thinks your undercutting him hard, he can buy your bigger allotments, and resell them to the community in 100 packs etc at a profit, which would certainly have to rival his current RTI / profit margins.

    Maybe start a new thread with the photos? either way....what a score for Aus! ++ for you!

    Iv'e heard if you must handle the (green tree) frogs, wash your hands in rainwater first if you can, as i beleive they have different PH levels on their skin to that of the average PH of a human set of hands! An expert can surely set the record straight here!

    balm for my eye's, you got an incredible collection. :wub:

     

    Balm for something else to reduce the friction burn!Never have I been drawn to FAP so madly over cacti....

    Your collection has come ALONG way, and is now 'right up there' in my eyes as far as 'Aussie Collections' go.

    Well done mate.

    EDIT: Its the freakishness and odditites that make your collection!

    For the sake of native conservation efforts, please don't do that.

     

    Sorry Psylo. Bad Joke I suppose :blush:. Im normally an avid fan of bio-diversity conservation, as im sure 99% of people here are.

    What I meant to say was "there making so many plants illegal, that mass-broadcasting datura will at least, no longer be a threat to bio-diversity, and will probably actually be helping to overcome and supress other scheduled or declared weeds and potentially more socio-destructive ones.....like our beautiful 'national' forrests of DEADLY Acacias!

    living in QLD is like living in a toilet... every day some dumb f*uck just add's more shit.

     

    Amen!

    Too many chiefs....not enough indians......(and shaman's) :)

    What store did this 'lonely pachanoi' with 'no soil' come from? I'd been eyeing off a baby T.scop at Nerang Bunnings (SE QLD) for the past few weeks with no soil....wonder if it was the same one lol!

    My best cacti have come from Wandjina and mebers on here! otherwise your local Bunnings Nursery manager can place special orders through Paradisia (which Collector's Corner happens to be an offset business of!), or Hamilton's. Both will have what you want, but not as cheap as if u find it on here!

    HHmmmm YAY lets ban even more things, and create an even bigger blackmarket, and push everyone to create even more fucked up undectable substances.

    Harm minimization and education, if implemented properly(along with heavy goverment taxes, which we would happily pay if our fav poison of choice was half the price even after being taxed), could have made the goverment VERY rich. Instead they make us pay more taxes to fight an issue that is only an issue because they say it is!

    <<<<----- Ovbiously sides with the "Fuck" Group.

    WHo the fuck is anyone to tell me what i can or cant grow, smoke, eat, rectally administer, huff, snort, topically apply! :devil:

    If this gets passed, I am going out of my way to gorrilla garden the streets of SE QLD with Khat, Brug, Datura, Caapi, Sally and anything else i can find scheduled. Imagine if we all had big group planting days, where nothing but brugs,khat,kratom and sally were left lining the street or park in question.

    If they kick...Ill kick back....

    Sick of sitting back and having my life ruled by the man!

    Anyone up for rougue plantings of scheduled plants in SE QLD please privately contact me for further details.

    Spread the plants people!

    EDIT: FUck it ...if they schedule anymore plants, im taking pods of D.stammonium, and scattering them VERY wide in major parks and viewable land lots!

    We can all just pitch tents at Wandjina, and pay a nominal fee to Torsten, to help keep the nursery beautiful!What do you think Torsten? I beleive you were talking about having an 'open day' on the 'whole' property, not just nursery, and a camp out would be the perfect way to do it.

    A man can always dream ;)

    Not even 12 months for me yet GOT ;).

    I had 2 LW grafts for the comp, which happened to be my FIRST EVER ATTEMPT at GRAFTING.

    Back at the end of 2011, i had only been into gardening for just over a year, and it was my first 2 L.W grafts that fed my addiction in cacti like the plague!

    One fell off late feburary 2012, and is significantly bigger than their brothers and sisters that are hard grown(see just below), but still no where as big as the one that stayed on!(see just below) I dont rekon its too far off budding either...what you think fellow members?

    Some of my grafting antics can be seen below the one I had in the comp, which is the first row of pictures.

    Congratulations GOT - Beat me too it! Don't mind coming second though!, and amazing considering we were both extreme noobs, and still only just novices :D.

    Also a big thankyou to all who participated, and had me constantly checking this thread to check out the newest growth on all our 'Peyotzl on stocks'. As you can see, this comp was merely the beginning of what I can envision as a life long obsession for me!

    Peace ladies and gentlemen
