I thought I would share some pics of my new buddy! A FoaFm was able to get it shipped here from a month long trip... he's supposed to be sending me some really cool pics of some eagles and stuffs so I'll post them when I get them if anyone is interested... but meanwhile here is some of the latest cactus porn Collection site: A plant shop in Puente Atocongo Perú near Lima, like a block away from the bridge right next to the mall laff I know thats not what constitutes a collection site, but that's meh story and i'm sticken to it.... A really nice rich green color... Big fuzzy aeroles.. They were grey until they got wet... Like a really cool grey but oh well, brown is cool too unfortunately they cut the spines off..... *** These first 2 pics maybe a little distorted in color due to the flash But they already had it rooting in a pot! A nice lady gave it to my cousin when he asked about San Pedro... They had to look around a bit, had this one and a larger one and just gifted it to him! :D He was so excited to tell me he had gotten a plant for me... I asked him to look for ripe fruits as part of his trip included a 16 hour bus ride to ayacucho he didn't make it out to the jungle areas but he got some pics while driving.... (Plus its just not the season for ripened fruits down in SA) I was under the impression she cut it off in front of him and just stuck it in a pot! lol but nope it was already gift potted and she just straight up gave it to him! I hope he told me the truth anyhow, but he's a really good kid so I believe him. she said it will grow about 8 feet tall with a huge white flower! Im gonna need alot of patience Was looking dehydrated and so I gave him a bath... I say He cause I usually call Peruvianuses He but I haven't ruled anything out yet.... but I think they will be long pretty spines to match the peruvianus like aereols... the water beaded up like crazy... and within about an hour or so... it was nearly all gone! This guy is ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *without flash on the left shows the true color better which is fairly dark green So probably easy to guess one thing I will be doing tomorrow! Shit I hate sifting perlite lol the labor of love eh ;) Im stuck with perlite til I can afford better but no worries I don't breathe that shyte
